    LOL.  That is big news?   I am not making fun of the fact that it should be newsworthy, but I don't know of too many people besides you and Bromide that even understand when or why it happened.  Are they going to change their Question and Answer site to VerizonAnswers?  That is all that really matters.

    Maybe because I'm one of the few people who still uses Yahoo as a primary internet portal (i.e. they have my e-mail and my fantasy basketball league) so Yahoo seems more relevant to me than it actually is given Google/Facebook's dominance.

    Well, I think normal people who do the normal day to day are just like you.  I am out of touch, TOO MUCH STILL, with any kind of computer business language.  I am getting better. Keep talking about it, that's how we learn.

    I'd say it's not, except for those of us who still have a Yahoo e-mail.  I'm glad I'm not job-hunting anymore as I have a Yahoo e-mail on my resume (which will soon be changed).
