I despise Yahoo
by R. U. Sirius January 5, 2006 9:56 PM PST
I will not use any of their products, except for the free email. Yahoo has one of the worst site designs on the web, and I do not want them on my cell phone.

Google has had many mobile features for quite some time now.
I Have to Agree ...

with you on this one. Yahoo Chat is a joke - it kicks you out after about 40 minutes, no matter how much or little you type, and their recent "upgrades" to their groups' Photos and Messages sections are disasters-in-progress. Just for the fun of it, I applied for a few positions there in software development here in Sillycon Valley, and was immediately offered a job doing any of them. So, I did some checking to see why they were so desperate, and found out that they are awash in incompetent, low-rent developers after Google cleaned them out with very nice signing bonuses and stock options. Oops, I guess cheap isn't the way to go when it comes to your technical talent, huh, Yahoo execs? Well, stand by for more missteps when you have a former Hollyweird movie studio exec for a CEO (which automatically means he brings along a whole carpet bag full of like-minded executive and management drones who just **** the hell out of whatever little technical talent is still around, not to mention pissing away whatever is left of their market share with Google on the loose).

As for Cingular and AT&T mobile services, you can keep those, too. I abandoned them years ago when they couldn't even get their billing right, much less deliver any broadband services I could give a rat's butt about.

Next stop for Yahoo, Oblivionville, population 1.

All the Best,
Joe Blow
