1. Nice, isn't it!

I learned of that a while back and felt so relieved. I've always used them, and will continue to do so. Now, take Yahoo. A lot of DU'ers then to use them, and yes they do have some pretty good stories, but Yahoo donated most if not all to the Repuks and that's where they lost me.

http://www.google.com/ now has a latest news page and it's very, very good.
