When acquisition rumors were just getting started, Yahoo! was wildly promoting IE7 (even to Firefox users on Linux). What have you seen on Yahoo!’s frontpage lately? This is what is happening: (if you can’t see it in the picture below, click on the image to see it in higher resolution image) This, on IE7 [...]

Early last month, I ordered an i-SmartSim SIM Card Unlock Attachment for my Nokia N75 from DealExtreme.com. About ten days after I placed the order, I received a package in the mail. Upon opening the thick brown envelope, I was shocked to not find the SIM card unlock attachment in it. My emails to DealExtreme@gmail.com [...] I may not be the first to see this (bug?). Serves me right for switching from Mail Classic to the latest and greatest Yahoo! Mail. After recent layoffs at Yahoo!, I wonder if they have enough folks left to look at these “minor” issues. As a software developer, I sympathize with the 100s of software developers that were laid off at Yahoo! today. While I am sure many of them will not have any difficulty finding another job in silicon valley and/or elsewhere, I hope this serves as a reminder that each of us should look out for our [...] Just saw this flash ad on order confirmation page of Amazon.com: The flash animation ends with: What does Your On mean? Isn’t that a typo? Just noticed CNN.com has a new look. The page looks clean and the navbar near the top of the page is nicely done. I understand CNN’s urge to have “Video” way up there but I would have liked to see the location of “Markets” swapped with that of “Video”. And, yes, the search bar, powered [...] I am not sure I believe that Terry Semel stepped down of his own volition. Could Terry Semel Stepped Down as CEO be an euphemism for Terry Semel Ousted as CEO? I think so. While retaining him as non-executive Chairman may incorrectly indicate that he wasn’t ousted, I strongly believe he has been retained as [...] A little over three years ago, Google announced GMail with 1 GB storage limit when Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail were offering 6 MB or less. That announcement was so widely covered in the media that most users of free web-based email couldn’t wait to sign up with GMail. GMail forced Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail to [...] Recently I was tasked with closing down a website which was hosted by Netfirms.com. On Netfirms.com there is no way to cancel the webhosting account. In fact, there is no mention of how to close an account on its website. Instead, one is forced to submit a customer support ticket online. In response to the [...] Looks like not much is happening at Yahoo! lately. I’ve seen the same news item in multiple tabs on the same page before but these days the same news items are appearing more than once within the same tab on a page. I hope it is just a programmer error. This and thisare couple examples [...] |
