The Swedish bank FSB has been using Windows (NT) based ATM machines for a long time now. Probably a very stripped down version, but no matter how stripped down it is, you'll still get Windows error messages.
This might be a good way for Yahoo to get some of the Google users to start using the search engine, and not only for videos. But as soon as google brings up theire Video search I doubt that the average joe will even bother trying Yahoo's video search.
As mentioned above other search engines has had this service for a long time and people have never bothered.
I've always wished to find someone who would broadcast some American channels like Comedy Central, as I'm not able to see those channel here in Sweden because I can't have satellite where I live. Streaming that to the Xbox using XBMC would be a really good option, and I'm not saying I wouldn't be able to pay for it. Perhaps even the broadcast companies should look into that option...
I was going build my own HTPC, which would've been able to play dvd but also other media files over the network. Instead I bought a Xbox, which acctually made things alot cheaper. The price on a xbox is very low here in sweden and even lower in the US. Modding it isn't that difficult as long as you have some soldering experience(this is also possible without even opening the xbox using some software exploits in a few games). Getting the required software was even easier than modding. I also replaced the 10GB hdd with a 120GB, voila a perfect dvd-player that also can play all the media files mplayer can play. Stream them over the network, download via ftp(additinal software), show me weather forecasts and show my holday pictures on the TV. I suppose I don't even need to add links to these stuff but anyway here they are:
Xbox media center Modding etc.
I looked into that the other day and found the MINI-itx cards to be ideal for this project. First of all they're very small, second they don't consume much power. I found a nice power simulator and noticed that with the EPIA 5000 I might be able to get 20W even in Network Mode.

...and (perhaps unfortunately) Yahoo is to be owned by Google

At least you have a job, perhaps all thanks to guy like him(?) and you probebly got paid (extra) for working on the weekend.
Now you can make comercial for your webpage that only for cell phone geeks and slashdot readers will understand. Isn't that great?
