I absolutely hate the new My Yahoo!, and I no longer see the option to continue using the old version. If it is gone for good I will find a new portal to use as my homepage, such as MSN. I don't want to do this; I have used My Yahoo! since I bought my first computer 9 years ago, and I have always preferred Yahoo! search to Google.

I don't even have much constructive to say about why I hate the new version; mainly just that it is new, and I was comfortable with the old.

I guess one thing that bothers me is that when I choose to view summaries with the headlines, the headlines are not distinct enough from the summaries. They are the exact same font and size; only the color is slightly different. This makes it EXTREMELY difficult to just scan through the headlines and read the summaries of only those which interest me. If you there was an option to bold the headlines and/or make them a larger font and/or underline them, it would be much easier to scan through them. If you make it harder for people to view something they like, they will go somewhere else for the content.

Please consider leaving the original My Yahoo! available for us old-timers who were happy with it and don't care about "Web 2.0" or additional interactivity on our portal to the World Wide Web.

This week I finally upgraded from a dying 6600GT to a factory overclocked 8800GT 512mb. I immediately fired up Command and Conquer 3, moved all the settings from medium-low to high, and jumped in expecting to be blown away by greater detail, realistic shadows, and awesome dynamic lighting effects, all at playable framerates. The first in-game screen looked very pretty, but as soon as the action started picking up, I noticed something odd: I wasn't noticing the improved graphics at all. Frankly, I was a little disappointed. After all, I just spent $200 on this great new hardware, but it made absolutely no difference in my actual gaming experience!!

This clearly demonstrates that if the gameplay is good enough, pretty graphics don't really matter that much. C&C3 is one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played, even with graphics turned way down. I used spend hours playing Asteroids (a.k.a. Sherbert Shoot) on my Atari 2600. Granted, it would be difficult to go back to that now and get the same enjoyment out of it, but although it was far from the prettiest game I had on the 2600, I played it much more than some other titles that did look better.

I know that purchasing the 8800GT was not a mistake. I can still appreciate and enjoy the improved graphics, and I have not played many games with it yet (no shooters, racers, or flight/space combat). But more importantly, I can actually play other games that choked the 6600GT even on the lowest settings, such as World In Conflict. Heck, I might even try the Crysis demo!
