| Yahoo Predicts CNet Review??
I'm not sure where this belongs, but I was on my 'My Yahoo' page and there's a banner ad touting Yahoo's new email service. I noticed something peculiar about the banner. It's interesting that Yahoo has obviously gotten an advance copy of Cnet's review. I don't even know if Cnet has posted a review.

It could just be a really poor choice of font that makes it look like a 6. |

| said by jstack :It could just be a really poor choice of font that makes it look like a 6. I actually considered that, given that the top of the 6 looks quite similar to that of a 5 in that image. However, if you really zoom in on the number in the image you will notice that there is no disconnect at the bottom left, like a 5 would/should have. |
