Block popups, underlining, banner ads on yahoo websites

Run mozilla and just add this to your adblock Advertisement filter:
"fe.shortcuts.search.yahoo.com/script?fr=csc_fin_pf"
That is it - no more underlining, no more stupid popups on double clicking a word etc. on yahoo websites.

Remove banners on Yahoo Finance by adding this to the Element Hiding Rules:
"finance.yahoo.com#DIV(style=height: 90px; width: 728px;)"

Be careful who you learn from...

Barrack Obama vs. Hillary Clinton

On the major issues, there is no real gulf separating this two.

The difference according to Larry Lessig:

(1) Character - Bill and Hillary Clinton have shown in the past that principles are expendable. One minor example - she refused to endorse the call to make presidential debates free from copyright, fearing that it might hurt her fundraising efforts from big business.

(2) Integrity - Hillary Clinton blatantly lies about Barrack Obama.

(3) Ideals - Hillary is "good enough" to continue the current divisive politics that everyone hates, Obama inspires change and peace.

Remove those annoying ads from Yahoo Messenger.

Interesting analogy: selling insurance is like selling puts on the stock index, except insurance companies get bailed out by the government!
