Users Revolt as the New Design at Last.fm Goes Live

Yahoo Caves In! Partners With Google For Ads
Finally Yahoo decided to cave in and has decided to partner with Google to display relevant alongside its search results in the US and Canada. This surely is the beginning of the end of the ambitious Panama project.
