If you relied on Yahoo Mail for important things such as business or even dating purpose, make sure they have been informed in advance or user other email services as point of communication.
Head to customer service in case any problem arise.
If Yahoo Mail is human, by 25 he/she might have been graduated from university, start working or perhaps even getting married. 
I still remember Yahoo Mail (and other Yahoo services), being among the first websitse I discovered (what else great website at that time, right?) about 8-10 years ago on one small cyber cafe . I’m quite proud with my email account when most my peers don’t even heard of Yahoo back then. Of course it is totally different story now when 4-5 years kids has been exposed to the internet by their parent.
I never thought Yahoo Mail is that old. They have been around for a quarter century now. Where Yahoo Mail stand now? It got new looks (Yahoo Mail Classic is the old version) and started integrating 3rd party applications in it. Even YM is available inside it now.
But the future doesn’t looks very much in favor to Yahoo Mail, at least at the moment. Ok, let’s not spoil Yahoo Mail birthday post today. So to Yahoo Mail, keep up the good work!
The Yahoo Header in all Yahoo service got a new look, it is now showing your first name instead of your Yahoo ID. There are new links to your profile, contact and application. Not that useful to me, since I seldom use other Yahoo services. But if they could put more links to popular Yahoo services such as Flickr, Yahoo News or Yahoo Answer, that would be better.
The header is available on all Yahoo services. In Yahoo Mail, you have to click the small arrow beside your name to show the menu, while on other services such as Everything Yahoo, hovering the cursor over the small arrow will show the menu.

Google miss earning forecast
Even though Google continue to be in black (profit) and its profit continue to rise to 1.21 billion from 1.03 billion on the same period a year before, but the fact that it miss the forecasted earning set by market analyst is kinda worrying the investor. OK on the simplest word, investors expect more but Google provides less. What does it mean? This is how I understand. Google’s revenue comes mostly from advertising, and big chunks of it came from the US.
At the moment, US economy is not that stable after the subprime crisis that happened from last year. Financial institution such as Citibank and JP Morgan has loss billion of dollar in their mortgage loan. Due to this also, consumers becomes more careful in spending their penny.
What is the connection between this and Google’s earning? With economic slowdown, the spending on advertising will slightly affected . So the rest is like a Domino effect, the slowdown on the other end will affect the other end along the road and so on
The most significant effect to us is the weakening of US dollar which causing you Adsence earning in USD converted to local currency lesser than usual.
Microsoft offer to buy Yahoo for 44.6 billion
Another not really shocking news, after MS announced their batter than expected profit last quarter, and the gloomy outlook of Yahoo. Ok, this is not rumors anymore. Microsoft has attempted to buy Yahoo before but it was rejected. But now, Microsoft is trying it luck again. Ironically, MS tabled the offer after Terry Semel, Yahoo chairman who’d rejects their offer earlier step down.
What is the problem with Yahoo? Why Yahoo has never recovered from their downfall? Well, the problem is within themselves. Yahoo has the most traffic in the world, but they have problem converting them into earning. Its project such Panama Project is not successful. Same fate goes to YPM which is still in beta stage after a year. Sigh
MS smell the opportunity and definitely trying to take an advantage of Yahoo current situation with hopes to catch up Google who lead the online business market. And with piles of cash it has, buying Yahoo is just another investment to grow bigger
