Microsoft-Yahoo : Our Take

This is the hottest news in the WWW these days- Microsofts offer for Yahoo. We are no businessmen and don't care about the deal or anything but one thing is for sure that if this deal takes place its gonna be awesome.
Together they have the potential to take on Google and i'd prefer them even if they are a notch lower than Google because i prefer my privacy to anything else. But the current Live search is to pathetic to use maybe Microsoft+Yahoo may be a better search.
Also it would mean serious competition for Google which hasn't seen any in last 5yrs.
It would also mean the revival of services that suffered just because Google didn't like them (Payperpost,Reviewme).
Also it would combine the two best messengers in the world and who khnows they might create an email service better than Gmail!
AND ABOVE ALL
I would also like this merger because nobody wants Google to become the Microsoft of internet!

Yahoo Messenger For Vista:All Show And No Work!

The much hyped Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista was launched a few days back and i have been using it for a day or two. I think the messenger is truely built for Vista because it looks more stylish than it can work.
Infact when it comes to work all you can doe with it is text chatting and send emocation.
No Video Confrencing, No PC-to-PC calls not even the "BUZZ". So all you can do is sit down and admire its looks! Even the sidebar widget is useless it helps you keep contact od one of you friends but for that also you have to start the messenger which makes the widget practically useless.
The other thing that has gone missing is the Chat-Rooms which were obviously a hit.
Since its looks are all its worth here are some Pics:
The start Up I Took The Shot At The Incorrect Moment Otherwise the logo looks beautiful!

The Sign In Screen Nothing New...

The Actual Thing do you notice the widget on the Sidebar??
The only good thing about this is "Tabbed Chatting" (Maybe I love Tabs!!)

Use Google Instead Of Yahoo And Catch An Extra Movie Every Month…

Above are the screenshots of Google’s and Yahoo’s homepages (Who didn’t know that?)
A look at them is enough to tell you that Google’s page will load faster because of the lack of media and advanced coding that Yahoo uses…. However I timed them and found the results a bit shocking. I think Yahoo deserve a pat because the rapid speed at which there homepage loads in spite of the large number of media it has is impressive……
Google- 01.92 secs..
Yahoo- -5.03 secs..
Difference-3.11 secs
Now let us suppose that you do 100 searches per day…..that sums up to 311 secs per day opening these pages which roughly equals 5mins that means in 30 working days you can save upto 2.5 hours enough time to catch up a movie……
That means you can catch a movie more every month if you use Google instead of Yahoo….
But I think you can save even more time if you download the Google toolbar if you are using IE6 or below or Firefox1.0, But I would recommend IE7 and Firefox2.0 because these
have built in search capabilities and you can save loads of time if you use them…
Saving time on searching can be especially useful for bloggers who spend a lot of time on researching the topics they blog about…
