    "Somehow, someway, my Yahoo! Mail account had been hacked. Someone changed the name of the account as well as my mailing address which is why I could not reset my password. Even worse, my dear old hacker went through some old emails I had and found information on an account I had on Ebay. The hacker then proceeded to login to my Ebay account and starting bidding and buying like it was Christmas time... Oh by the way, never heard or received back any type of communication from Yahoo!."

    And this is why I'm weary of 'in-the-cloud' services - you have no control over your data anymore.

    MASSIVE: Microsoft May Acquire Yahoo for $50 Billion

    "This deal will be huge if it goes ahead: Microsoft has reacted to Google’s purchase of DoubleClick by stepping up talks with Yahoo about a possible acquisition/merger. Estimated pricetag for Yahoo? $50 billion."

    I seriously doubt Microsoft would - that's a massive chunk of their reserves, and it isn't really value for money. Yahoo for that matter hasn't been that successful lately either against Google, they just have properties that are but aren't that well linked into the Yahoo-sphere, like flickr.
