Well, I have no idea how long it has been like this, but I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that Yahoo search looks SO much like Google now.

Yeah, still doesn't look as cool as Google though. I guess people want quick results, not complex graphics loading everytime you run a search.

Yahoo (sadly?) lost the search engine war and, in my opinion, can never come back from it.

However, as http://www.yahoo.com/preview shows, it seems to me that yahoo is using the approach of a generic news outlet instead of focusing on the search engine part.

at least Yahoo isn't supporting the repression of thought in other countries.
