FYI - if you have a #Yahoo account or an account with any of their "family of companies" (#AOL, #Rivals, #Engadget, #InTheKnow, #TechCrunch, and #Makers), you have until April 6 (or maybe a day earlier) to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement that Yahoo recently added to their Terms of Service. The way to opt out is to e-mail [email protected] with the subject line “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT”.
