I prefer gmail over yahoo mail myself too, but we're geeks - not the majority.
I maintain several sites with newsletters and a large protion of them (35-45%) use Yahoo email addresses. Less than 5% use gmail. I could consider that is due to gmail's relative newness, but the numbers have been staying constant. In fact the Yahoo share is still increasing 1-2% a month with my international subscribers.
I've heard similar numbers from other webmasters as well.
they could find somebody dull enough to believe the Onion was actually a real presidential announcement
I'd assume: the president was the first dullard to believe an onion.

Cellphones were the rage at the time, now it's just being applied to data. I never heard if this ever went anywhere: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/TECH/ptech/02/22/cell .phones.balloons/?related
