    I guess I have to download and archive all my juicy e mails from Yahell to protect them. $60 would be a very low price for all the dirt thats in there.

    The only thing I really use Yahoo for is the email address that I get all my spam sent to. I guess they can have that if they want. Sometimes there is pron. Maybe they will like that as well.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: The problem is that not only Yahoo can do this, eventually, other companies can "share" the info as well...

    @Crimson33: The article twists the meaning somewhat. Yahoo isn't really "selling" information. When law enforcement agencies subpoena a company (Yahoo, Google, MS, whoever) for information, there is nothing much that they can really do about it. The numbers above just say how much Yahoo is reimbursed for using its resources to provide this information.

    Meaning - Yahoo is probably not the only company with a chart of prices like this. It just so happens that Yahoo's chart got published here. I was sort of joking in my first comment.

    30$ for a half & half (half of the account username and half of the password), 60$ for the full shebang. Yahoo's such a dirty (easy) skank

    So, can I give them sixty bucks to not give away my information? Clearly Yahoo is willing to whore themselves out for cheap, but I am curious if they will take any customer, or if they have some element of discrimination.

    And just sinking more money into Social Security and Medicare/caid will solve all of those problems. Just throw money at the problem.

    There's a better way for MSFT to try to kill Google. Just offer to list Google's customers for free. It worked in the borwser war and it will work here. There's no better way to destroy your competition than to offer something for nothing.

    That, of course, begs the question whether or not Bing is a good search engine to begin with. If not, no one will take the free offer. #markcuban

    If you're a top 1000 website, you're going to lose a hell of a lot more than one million dollars if you delist yourself from Google.

    The only result this plan would achieve is that the remainder of the top 2000 websites would fall into the top spots to replace the ones that just committed suicide. #markcuban

    That's an interesting concept, but I'm pretty sure you would need to pay much more than $1,000,000 to get many of the top 1000 websites to delist from Google. I mean, Yahoo, EBay, CNN, Facebook, etc. are up there. To them, that's pocket change. #markcuban
