Yahoo should have pulled their finger out...

Yep, same here.

Looks like my details from Lifehacker were in the system.

It seems to be just an email address though as trying to do a password recovery on the site tells you that you have no account, but were listed as receiving a newsletter (that you didn't sign up for).

Re: Atari 800 series ???

Yep, Atari all the way.

So many fond memories of my 800, 800XL and later ST.

Yahoo should have pulled their finger out...

...and clarified their position before the recent mass exodus.

Alternative services have been struggling to cope over the past few days, and presumably enough damage has been done in terms of active users to make the service less attractive to a buyer.

Unless of course the plan was to reduce costs a bit.

A better green solution...

...would be letting people opt out of receiving phone books and directories like Yellow Pages in the first place.

Mine goes into the bin/recycling the same day it arrives, and I've have never found the need to use one in years.

Enjoying my N900 on Vodafone

Can't you just do what I did and buy it on Vodafone from mobilephonesdirect?

Appears to be in stock still, and would save the wait.

I wonder...

How many laptops they went through, and how many times 'the catcher' got clobbered by a stray laptop.

Saying that, the bloke throwing is as impressive with the accuracy he can send a MSI through the air.

FAIL

New thin camera...

...but probably comes with the new 'DRMed' batteries.
