Watch the language. You can say what you feel without using curse / cuss words. No warning this time, just a reminder that we have young members under the age of 13.
which engine has the most pictures. Google is horrible with searching pictures. i never really used yahoo. google always has done the job but i have began to notice that it is just same old stuff over and over again. alot of you seem to be saying that yahoo is the best. i think i will give it a try. and hotbot does **** incredibly. wow...bad ...used it like 5 times and never typed those words in the address bar again.!.!.!
I use Google, but I'm not entirely sure why! I suppose some people like it because of it's easy interface and fast results. It doesn't always produce the best results, that would be impossible but I think it's pretty reliable.
Why a search engine should be bad? I prefer Google personaly, but someone else could like Yahoo more, I don't think you can say a search engine is bad, if one give more results at the same word that could also be because it's better and don't show results that are not of any use.
I like using Yahoo for on the fly search's and other things like movie times, top news stories, yellow pages, directions, etc. Google I tend to use when I need to look up something I really need to know about...thus the word google it.
Yahoo! announced on their official Messenger blog (ymessengerblog.com) that unspecified changes will
be made to the way firewalled users will use Messenger. The article mentions that only users that
are using version 8.x and signed in from behind a firewall will be affected. An official message
will be sent by Yahoo! urging users to upgrade to the latest 9.x version of the software. From a
programming standpoint this will most likely only affect Messenger operations that require a peer to
peer (p2p) connection such as file sharing. When performing a peer to peer oper....
Yahoo! has changed their profile system and more has changed besides the layout of the page. When
transitioning to the new system all of the user data was cleared and pages for aliases were removed.
Additionally, personal information such as age and location are now protected in a manner similar
to Facebook or MySpace where you must be accepted by the user. Apparently many users are not happy
with the new system as shown in
(http://www.yprofileblog.com/blog/2008/10/17/managing-your-alias-and-profile/),

Here is a question that came into my forum and I thought it needed wider coverage. Q: Can you
explain the Yahoo! Messenger challenge response algorithm? The Yahoo! Messenger challenge response
sequence is quite complex and unique to Yahoo! The challenge comes from the server and is then run
through an algorithm on the client. When looking at the challenge and response in ASCII view it
almost looks like a mathematical equation but it is not. This complex algorithm came from several
years ago when the username and password was sent in plain text over the network an....
I just received a very weird message when I logged into Messenger today. It said “Congratulations,
you are a Power User!” The pop-up was in its separate window similar to the annoying Insider and
had a Learn More, Choose Your Icon, and No Thanks button (the Learn More button didn’t work). After
doing a quick Google search
(http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger9/pwrusr/pwrusr-01.html)

pop-up that somehow got past my defenses. Here are a few of the “benef....
Last wednesday (2008-07-09) Yahoo! Search launched a new service called Yahoo! Search BOSS (Build
your Own Search Service) which is a web services platform that allows developers and companies to
create and launch web-scale search products by utilizing the same infrastructure and technology that
powers Yahoo! Search . Some capabilities of the new Yahoo! Search BOSS service are: Ability to
re-rank and blend results Unlimited queries Total flexibility on presentation This service is
based on Python and is available to everybody, to get started and Build your Ow....
Hi buddies, Is this a good news for you? I've got paid for the first month from this site. Here
is how you can earn: After you sign up, they ask you to set their page as homepage and install a
search box.Everyday, when you search once, you will earn up to 3p. How much you can earn depends on
where you live. I earned 1.5p per search. So, if you search 40 times per day, how much you will earn
a month? It's very easy, right? In addition, when you refer friends, you will earn more. They
offer 4 referral levels: 50%, 10%, 5% and 2.5%. If you are interested, sign up a....
While Yahoo! was off fighting Microsoft, they made some deals with Google to put a slightly tainted
taste into the merger deal. The most notable one was an ad revenue “trial” where Google would serve
the ads on Yahoo! pages in return for a very favorable share of the profit. Over the past week it
appears that the trials were very successful and Yahoo! has agreed to a more permanent deal with
Google that would continue the deal, pending any anti-trust issues. Mixed up in this agreement is a
paragraph that indicates future interoperability between the two IM platforms (....
Microsoft has receded it’s bid for Yahoo! in a surprise Saturday (May 3, 2008) announcement. When
presented with offering more money or engaging in a hostel take-over, Microsoft decided to take a
third route and just drop the whole thing. In a letter addressed to Yahoo!
(http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/may08/05-03letter.mspx), Microsoft outlined several
reasons why they let the offer slip. There are concerns that a deal between Yahoo! and Google would
seriously throw a monkey wrench into things and regulatory bodies, the EU in particular, would frown

I have been aware of the latest Yahoo! Jukebox and until recently Messenger exploits for about a
week. Starting on the 3rd of February, three critical vulnerabilities were posted for datagrid.dll
and mediagrid.dll which are part of the Yahoo! Jukebox offering
(http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27578, http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27579 ,
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27590) . The reason that I waited so long to post this is because
the details were inconsistent and it didn’t add up to me. The versions of Messenger that were
listed as vulnerable are absolutely a....

An article from Security Focus (http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/665) states that Yahoo! is
considering adding support for OpenID (http://openid.net/). This would add Yahoo! to the growing
number of sites that are supporting the open source effort. There is no mention of Yahoo! Messenger
but I would guess that it will not be supported immediately by the desktop client. For those who
have not heard of OpenID I would suggest doing some research. It promises to get rid of the
hundreds (perhaps thousands for some) of separate website passwords. You could essentially u....

The latest post on the official Yahoo! Messenger blog appears to be out of place to me
(http://www.ymessengerblog.com/blog/2008/01/04/recording-yahoo-messenger-calls/). It is not part of
the usual suspects of promising unneeded features or unabashed promotion of Messenger. Instead it
is a fairly useful commentary on how to record a Messenger phone session using third party
applications. The Yahoo! Messenger blog references a New York Times article
(http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/03/technology/personaltech/03ASKK-002.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) where a
user asked if there i....
I have been using the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger for over two weeks now and I would like to
give a quick review of it. Overall this is not a major change from what I know as Messenger. As it
has been said before, this is evolutionary not revolutionary. From what I can see there are no new
features (at least none that I would use), the user interface (UI) is prettier, and it looks like
there have been some bug fixes; that’s it. Under the hood there are some things to note. The
current version of the YSMG protocol with version 8 is 15 and Messenger 9 has bee....
There’s not much meat or new content in this post but I did find it rather humorous. Richard Sinn
is apparently the software security engineer for Yahoo! Messenger and he now has a new book out

The Yahoo! Messenger development team announced that there have been a few minor upgrades to the web
version of Yahoo! Messenger
(http://blog.messenger.yahoo.com/blog/2007/09/24/yahoo-messenger-for-the-web-new-release/). From
what I can see nothing major has been added except for SMS to mobile users and a few new languages
for India. Apparently the web version of Messenger has taken off in India as nine new languages are
added for that region. You add the support for the biggest demand.....
The latest blog post from the Yahoo! Messenger development teams is about Discovr, a proposed new
way of sharing Messenger contacts. As is stands Messenger is a closed social community. It is very
hard to discover new buddies unless you start trolling around the chat rooms or have a buddy in real
life. Discovr is a method to make Messenger more like Facebook or Myspace where everyone knows who
your friends are. Discovr came from Hack Days, a common occurrence at Yahoo! that encourages
different departments to throw out new ideas. (To think Yahoo! actually names it H....
Just in case you haven’t been keeping up with Yahoo! Chat, it looks like a new sheriff is in town
(http://blog.messenger.yahoo.com/blog/2007/08/29/new-entry-process-for-chat-rooms/). Just before
the Labor Day weekend Yahoo! started making users enter a captcha before they could enter a chat
room. This could possibly mean that the chat rooms will be bot free for the time being. My first
impression of the system was not that bad. I logged in with Yahelite and was quickly prompted to
enter the captcha in a separate dialogue box. I do have to admit that the process did ....
Yahoo! Messenger is once again in the news for all the wrong reasons. This time it is a heap
overflow in the webcam component. The news was apparently first exposed my McAfee in a blog post at
http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/ind...enger-zero-day/ . A second post at
http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/ind...er-webcam-0day/ goes into more detail explaining that
you shouldn’t accept unknown webcam invites and to possibly firewall port 5100. Security Focus has
also issued an alert at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/25330/info but they only classify is as ....
Back in May Yahoo! swore that the chat room problems were going to be fixed. Again this past month
they said the same thing. This is a survey to see if anyone has experienced better results,
specifically within the past week. Personally I started having real problems starting at the
beginning of the year. The porn bots and booters were always there so I never considered them to be
a problem. I use YahElite to chat so most of the garbage is filtered out anyway. My big complaint
is with not being able to get into a chat room at all. When I go to sign in there is usu....
As a developer it is sometimes hard to know what your users want in your product or where they would
like to see improvement. This is a problem that any supplier of goods has had since the invention
of trade. The problem can be summed up like this. For every 1 complaint there are 10 other people
out there that have the same problem and just didn’t say anything. For every 1 compliment there are
50 other people out there that feel the same way but just didn’t say anything. I have to admit that
I am the same way. How many times have you gone through your day and thoug....

Yahoo has added Yahoo Chat to Yahoo Mail. In other words when you are browsing your e-mails, and if
some of your contacts are online you can chat with them. You are immediatly signed on yahoo chat,
when your yahoo mail turns on. And in the left panel, next to contacts it says 0 online or 3 online,
depends on how many of your contacts or online. Then you can just put your mouse over where it
says how many of your contacts are online, click and you can pick with who you want to chat with.
It is pretty amazing, and I think that Yahoo Mail is getting better and better.....
An interesting post slipped through on Friday from the Official Messenger Blog
(http://blog.messenger.yahoo.com/). This is one of the few posts that has some meat to it and it
basically outlines what the future of Yahoo! chat rooms are (the title is “Chat rooms: State of the
Union”, I like it). According to Yahoo!, the entire backend of the servers has been rebuilt from
the ground up. Hopefully they also incorporated security into their software life cycle which would
make many of the common problems disappear. There is also a war against bots, and a MAC platform
add....
Yahoo is expanding its offer of unlimited e-mail storage worldwide.Yahoo! Mail has begun its rollout
of unlimited e-mail storage, which will reach all users of the service within the coming months.
Yahoo announced its unlimited storage plan for U.S. residents back in March. Yahoo Mail originally
launched in 1997 with 4MB of storage. The mail app was an outgrowth of Yahoo's acquisition of
Four11 Corporation, which owned an app known as RocketMail. Both new and existing Yahoo! Mail users
will receive an unlimited amount of free e-mail storage. The service upgrade wil....
This is an interesting tid bit about the Yahoo! chat room problems.
http://www.winbeta.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8809 To be honest I am kinda scared. When a
company has set a hard deadline to resolve “technical issues” I always get the feeling that
something else is going to change. Maybe this is another protocol change or something specific to
chat. On a personal note, I have noticed the problem getting slightly better over the past few
days. QUOTE Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Messenger. We understand that you are unable to
enter chat rooms through ....
For whatever reason, certain users feel the need to harass other citizens of the internet. The
following is a typical scenario of what may cause a Yahoo! booter to be used. Bob is an average
computer user that enjoys talking to his friends over Yahoo! Messenger. One day, Bob goes into a
Yahoo! chat room to discuss the topics of the day. After several minutes of intellectual discussion
with members of the chat room, Jane joins the room. From the very beginning, it is apparent that
Jane is in the room to cause trouble and starts a flame war. Bob and Jane quickly star....
Part 2 - History The need for humans to communicate faster and more efficiently has been one of the
driving forces behind the Internet. Not since the invention of the telephone has communications
between humans been more readily available. The communication power of the Internet began to take
shape in its infancy with one of the first Internet applications, email. While the Internet was
still ARPANET and with only four links, the first email message was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971.
The first message consisted of the text “Testing 1-2-3” and did not contain any of th....
