meh. before i finished reading the link i was thinking they're changing it cause yahoo is gonna give them money. but, to me it doesn't really matter. i don't see any person using ubuntu caring either. cause anyone using ubuntu is going to know how to change the default to what they want any way. every time I reload windows I have to change the default search to google. i mean, open source projects need money too.
ot, what is the deal with ubuntu lately. why is everyone jumping on the ubuntu bandwagon? it seems a little too dumbed down to me. too minimalistic.
