I can. You can't drag the boxes around (yet) but it's far more customizable than Google's. Yes, it has ads, but Google plans to add ads to their customizable home page too.
I like Celsius for weather. Its 0-100 scale makes sense to me: 0 is about as cold as I've ever experienced (being in the U.S.) and it almost never gets hotter than 100 where I am. I know how to freeze and boil water.
Complaining about 33-degree temperatures just isn't as fun as complaining about temperatures in the 90s.
Yahoo! also has the advantage in that they have integrated RSS into their search. Notice that a few of the sites have "RSS:... Add to My Yahoo!" in the search results. Very handy.
Brother, I shop at Wal-Mart, I eat at McDonald's (rarely), and I watch corporate-owned TV stations. I really don't care what Google searches have to say about companies "sucking."
I like your way of determining whether something is good or not. Didn't you hear that Slashdot sucks too? What are you doing here? Go home and have some food.
It costs the same amount as an iPod Shuffle. Mac OS X is supported, though you can't use iTunes; you just have to move MP3s or WMAs onto it as if it were any other non-iPod MP3 player. It'll work with any OS that supports USB mass storage devices -- even Linux, believe it or not.
The article we're supposed to be discussing concerns on-line games, which are GOODS which require a SERVICE subscription to play. To offset or eliminate the cost of said SERVICE subscription, they plan to sell advertisements. People are up in arms because they claim to have the right to suppress ads in on-line gaming services.
You just gave a great argument for Apple charging less than Dell does; Apple includes less hardware in its monitors. Yet they still charge at least twice as much as Dell does for what is virtually the same piece of hardware (with fewer features).
Before you slavishly installed Adblock and started setting up meticulous regular expressions for everyone, your hard drive was already "filled up with advertisements" in the form of various on-line advertising.
Shouldn't I be able to have a TV experience free of advertisements, seeing as I already paid $50 a month for cable?
Shouldn't I be able to use my TiVo without its own advertising? I paid $600 for the box plus service.
Shouldn't I be able to enjoy my sporting event without all those billboards? I paid $40 for a ticket.
The answer to all of the questions you and I ask is "no." Go ahead. Boycott. See if anyone cares.
I just looked at the Gamespy article and was (re)introduced to the wonders of Sega Master System box art. Minimalistic cartoon art against a graph-paper background! Large serif fonts!
Good God, Lotus 1-2-3 looked like more fun than Sega Master System games did.
People still buy Magic: The Gathering cards, right? When I stopped (~5 years ago) there was a fuss every time Wizards released some new expansion that either resurrected an old card or introduced a new card that completely threw the secondhand-card market into disarray. People played nonetheless. Apparently getting screwed out of your money is an integral part of fantasy gaming.

Firefox 1.1 Scrapped

Download Netscape 8 and choose to use the IE engine on launch.yahoo.com.
Alternatively, download Mozilla Deer Park Alpha 2 and install the latest CVS nightly build of the SpoofUserAgentExtension 0.1.2b with Yahoo Unblocking extension (codename "oohaY!") 0.0.1a.
Just get Opera. For years (as in, since their Windows 3.1 days) they've supported a zoom feature that enlarges text, graphics, and even Flash animations. They also support CSS-based modifications that, with one or two mouse clicks, render a site easily readable by anyone with bad eyes, no tolerance for Comic Sans, and/or people who disagree with the decision to render a page in 7-point grey-on-white text.
Firefox and its army of extension developers will eventually re-implement Opera, but in the meantime the real thing is much better.
Apple charges about $600 more for a PowerBook than an iBook. That's a differential larger than any you could show me for comparable-but-crippled products from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, or Ati.
Why disable a feature that people don't use? I don't see your logic. Apple invested engineering time and effort to turn off a feature that the hardware provided for free -- and, if the vast majority of "hack" users are true, it's a feature that works very well. (I still don't buy the "it makes your logic board fail faster" deal, since Apple's iBook logic boards are pieces of shit no matter what.)
That reminds me of the way that Apple sells the same 20" monitors that Dell sells without the VGA connectors. Compare the Apple 20" with the Dell 20" Display if you don't believe me. (Yada yada different backlight yada yada silver coloring is worth hundreds of dollars)
They should break up the day into 100 hours instead of stupid 24. Potential benefits: - Working 9 to 5 becomes a breeze.
Are you insane? With a 100 hour day, working "9 to 5" becomes a 96-hour day, equivalent to 23.04 of your Classic American Non-Metric Hours. That's no good.
Apple's logic boards fail on their own without any help. I'm amazed when people defend the existence hacks to include basic functionality (dual monitors on iBooks/iMacs; the 30-second skip button on TiVo) when competing products include the functionality out of the box -- no cheat code or patch required. The reason is to perpetuate the illusion of a more expensive product being "high-end" because it is not as crippled out of the box.

Yeah, that should be "I like Fahrenheit for weather." I'm an idiot.

Yeah, because we all know how Apple hates DRM...
I thought Super Monkey Ball was sold by Sega and developed by AV. Sega's pretty big. It's the big companies which sign the big advertising deals.
Brother, I shop at Wal-Mart, I eat at McDonald's (rarely), and I watch corporate-owned TV stations. I really don't care what Google searches have to say about companies "sucking."
You, sir, are a good troll.

Sure. A conscience costs you only $120 plus shipping.

"Prosumers." You know, people who think they have to spend $600 more to get features like dual-monitor support that Apple cripples out of the iBook*.
(Posted from a 12" PowerBook)
* Apparently you have to hack an iBook to get its graphics card to do something it was built to do.
