The Brutal Decline of Yahoo (An Infographic Tale)
These days I only use Yahoo to look up movie listings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I use yahoo because that's my user ID for flickr. My sister however, has a yahoo email address, and won't give it up despite many technical problems.

Boxee Box plays virtually any video file without breaking a sweat
The Boxee Box is officially here. What started out as an open source project is now a full-fledged media box for your HDTV with a few surprises and tweaks that make rivals such as AppleTV still look like a "hobby."
...
D-Link's Boxee Box wants to be the Jack of All Trades media box for your living room and it looks like its off to a good start. With apps, support from major video on demand companies and a slick interface, Boxee Box looks like it'll be able to hold up its own against competitors. For $200, you would think there would be some internal storage right? Nope. What we see as missing feature, Boxee sees as next year's update. Even still, that just feels like nitpicking an already solid package. If you have boatloads of video files that you just want to play on your big screen, this might be the media box you're looking for.

For whatever reason that link isn't working for me - did they keep that weird awkward shape, or will it fit in a standard media center setup?

The images on the linked page show a box with a weird awkward shape.

Well, I called up Kindle, and since I'm not trying to lie, admitted it got wet. They said they could send me a replacement for $72, so I agreed. Sigh. Stupidity tax, I guess--and I'm about to go order a waterproof cover, too!!!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
does anyone have the Boxee Box? It is intriguing. But the Amazon reviews seem to point that the actual box software doesn't do all the things the software on your computer can do. Most strange. Notably Hulu and Netflix. Not sure if that is stupid people, or if that is fact. But tempted by the prospect!

IIRC, the Boxee people have been having trouble with Hulu since forever - they just don't want people having access to their content on anything other than a computer screen.

I've been hoping that TiVO would get access to Hulu, but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon.
