1. Comment - Yahoo's latest Messenger beta goes its own way

   Bloat is bloat. Sure, the powerful, heavily resourced systems that represent current standards can download, store, and run these big fat sloppy applications, but imagine if everyone wrote lean & mean code... Our killer machines would maintain their performance if apps were coded tighter.
   
   I hate ads in chat clients! I use pidgin user and force it on my family also. Sure, they want the official AIM and Yahoo clients so they can do all the extra crap, but if they want to be entertained they can go watch TV - if they want to IM friends and family, they just need a couple boxes to type in.
   
   I'm not thrilled downloading and using larger and larger apps just because I have room on my HD! You can't keep spending just because you have more checks in your checkbook!
