That's nice. I'm sure Microsoft wants Apple to do the same thing. Is it too much trouble to change the default search engine? It only takes 2 seconds. I think what they should do is use all three and filter out the repeat sites.
Nope. Google will then "donate" to the DOJ and then suddenly the DOJ will investigate.
"If Safari becomes less useful as well, it's going to be third thing (maps, Siri, Safari) in iOS being second rate because Apple is having pointless feud with Google, and more reasons for users to switch away from what they already think is overpriced fashion toy."
This quote sums it up. It's contrary to the evidence. Siri is very useful. Safari as well w or w/o Google as default. Same with Maps.
Google's stuff has become second rate due purely to the fact that advertising is beginning to dominate everything they do and is interfering with the quality of their services.
I was surprised too. If I remember correctly, Apple directed traffic there as a homepage back in the day. I just know that was my default for a while. Seems there was another as well, but I can't recall.
I'm just going to be in moderation hell huh? I can't be part of any discussion as by the time my comments post the discussion has moved on. What gives mod?
At least with Yahoo you get tech support. I've never been able to reach Google's tech support. Do they have any?
I have also had a Gmail account for the last seven years and had a small fraction of the spam (and spastic spam-filter) problems as with Yahoo and have never needed tech support.
Not a popular observation on an Apple-booster site, I'm sure, but there it is. The only way to make Yahoo look good is to compare it with the steaming pile of rancid dingo chunder that was Hotmail (RIP).
Well that would be interesting but it's a choice between evils in my opinion. As for Yahoo: I'm not too happy with them since they closed My Yahoo in my country. I switched to http://www.start.me which works as well if not better, but still not pleased with Yahoo!

I know: Apple should agree to make Yahoo the default for people that are working from home.
Did you search for Google.com?

Go on...
...cut the cord
...you don't need them.
Not to mention, I went to the Yahoo homepage and the first thing I saw? A huge full-screen flash ad. At least Google's ads are unobtrusive.
Unobtrusive?..
...or easy to click on by accident.
Screw Google people can get by without them, who goes to search engine home pages anyway?
You never watched "The Internship"?

Why am I not surprised that you have it on hand.
Can we use you for Google tech support?
Expand your role.
Can I use you as an endorsement?

That would be AltaVista.
Depends on what one is expecting out of a weather app, but I agree Yahoo's app is very good.
did you care that text covers up her face?
It was meant to be a joke in that it is the new default Apple iPhone lock screen.
I don't put too much thought into doing it.
So yours is set to not cover Jony's face?
Congrats!
I love weather. I love weather apps. And Yahoo's is very pretty. But they're all inaccurate a lot of the time.
Way to unnecessarily quote a big huge, post and not have any reference to any of it in your response...

FUD. You're stuck in the past.
Am I?
