Seventy-four years ago today, the phrase “Do Not Pass Go” came into existence as Parker Brothers sold its first box of Monopoly. Since then, 750 million people have done jail time as they tried to buy up (the misspelled) Marvin Gardens, Park Place, and Boardwalk. Here’s what we added to our holdings this week:
- Calendar gets cooler: Back in October, we brought you a Yahoo! Calendar revival. This week, it got a little louder. You can now search your calendar events and notepad by keyword, as well as print your calendar in a special print format for day/week/month/event for better readability. If you’re a list-maker, you can now create to-do lists by topic (i.e., “kids,” “work,” “groceries”) and share them with others. Not a to-do fan? Just drag the column shut to banish it. And finally, new right-click functionality lets you make quicker work of adding, editing, printing, and viewing events. Head to the suggestion board if you want to help steer future enhancements. Haven’t switched from Classic yet? What’s the holdup?
- Finer FoxyTunes: The popular music toolbar we acquired a year ago this week just got a refresh. The FoxyTunes team unleashed no fewer than 20 enhancements in their latest Firefox plugin release. They include a new switch menu that lets you multitasking music listeners jump between media players (iTunes, Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.) along with a bevy of smarter, simpler improvements for menus, buttons, and an overall streamlined design. More here.

its easy to read a few lines of product updates but the work that went into writing the code and all those process steps is truly amazing
that’s why its really sad when someone at the top doesn’t get the concept right and yet the coding has to be done, now that’s sad, its important to constantly switch between user n coder to bring out a good product update
short but nice product updates, thanks

listening to music while coding normally helps provided your good at coding, the point is i did a music search for ’soma goa trance’ at another online location and in further results i get music near goa which is impressive coz its geo tagged, now thats coding and thats what yahoo! has to aim for while coding
my suggestion listen to music, preferably rock or trance ;-) code on
