[Tool]

... Yahoo is the worst company ever. God I hate that, their emails are so easy to hack and their IM service is pure garbage, giving easy access to lots of spyware and the works.

[Muse]

[Karant]

no, no ideas!. you should start your own thread for something like this and not revive a good dead thread with a post that has nothing whatsoever to do with the thread. Please somebody remove this post and Blaines so this thread can retain some of its former glory.
