I Highly disagree, Yahoo is well known for multimedia and entertainment fun ... this is a great step on proving that yahoo can take care of business and allow its name to be known for what it is. it's all about the Y! - Y entertainment and Y! everything...

if you' ever had to pay for something online i'd have to choose Yahoo its the most well respected company ever established. to the beginning :)
