Re: Quote of the Day

Scientists say because of global warming they expect the world's oceans to rise four and a half feet. The scientists say this can mean only one thing - Gary Coleman is going to drown.

Re: Quote of the Day

"I think the machines just took over. There's not a lot of human interaction. We've known that automated trading can run away from you, and I think that's what we saw happen today."

— Charlie Smith, chief investment officer at Fort Pitt Capital Group, on Thursday's frightening Dow plunge, which may have been triggered when a futures trader accidentally hit the "B" key instead of the "M" key, turning a $16 million sell order into a $16 billion sell order.

Re: Quote of the Day

"There's nothing to look at but a box and a button. When you look at this home page nothing looks back at you. You come to this place so you can leave. Well, at Yahoo, we've got a different idea. Your homepage isn't blank or anonymous. It doesn't hustle you out the door. It's a place that gets to know you. A place that finds things for you. A place that surprises you. A place you want to stay."

— From the voice-over of a new Yahoo commercial that shows a distinctly Google-like home page in contrast to Yahoo's own. The ad is part of new $75 million marketing blitz carrying the slogan "Your favorite stuff all in one place. Make Yahoo your home page," and is an effort to explain what the company was trying to say with last fall's $100 million "It's Y!OU" campaign

Re: Quote of the Day

"By then, I owned an Amiga computer, and was prone to prickliness when users of Atari’s ST line fatheadedly contended that their machines were superior to mine. But it still didn’t occur to me to call them fanboys."

— Harry McCracken of Technologizer, in his exposé "Fanboy! The Strange True Story of the Tech World's Favorite Put-Down."
