Yahoo! Feeling the Heat
I logged into my Yahoo! account (which I'm phasing out in lieu of Gmail, as I did earlier with my Hotmail in lieu of Yahoo!) and I get this message:
Wow. A "loyal Yahoo! mail user"; they definitely see Gmail coming to kill them. And, well, they were right.
This would definitely bug the hell out of me if I were a loyal Yahoo! mail user who'd upgraded to a pay account - which I believe was somewhere on the order of $20 for 16MB. Luckily, I am not stupid, so I did not do that.
