I saw this briefly in CNN, and I am wondering just what happened. All I got from the news was Yahoo making an apology to the wife of the imprisoned reporter. Yahoo apparently supplied the Chinese government with enough details to arrest a dissident reporter. If this is old news I would appreciate a link.

Was watching the News, and the owners of Yahoo didn't want to loose their Chinese customers. They therefore aquiesced and provided the Chinese Government with the name of the Protestor. They sold a good man down the tubes for the sake of profits.

I guess the Yahoo hierarchy would quite easily sell their mothers and their kids down the drain for profits too.

Yahoo is shit

As far as I'm concerned it's just another search engine. Yahoo chat used to be kind of cool but now it's nothing but porn bots and email spammers. I never use it anymore but I think my mailbox has something like 2,490 spam emails in it at the moment.

"Hi there, how are you?"

"I'm fine thanks, and you?"

"I'm Tracy, what are you doing now?"

"Well Tracy, at the moment I am frying a dead baby in a skillet and about set off a nuclear bomb."

"That sounds hot, wanna see me on cam? Go to www.imsohot.com "
