No matter how this story ends, it will have a massive impact on all Web users. If Microsoft takes control of Yahoo, for example, many of Redmond’s Web properties will likely get scuttled while Yahoo’s become even more massive.

Win a “green house” that comes with a massive SUV.
How’s that again? The green blogs are in an amused and outraged tizzy about a new contest from the folks at HGTV. In conjunction with the presentation of its annual green home, the network is holding a sweepstakes that you can enter to win the Hilton Head, South Carolina home, totally furnished with lots of eco-friendly goodies.

OK, but the mileage is still only an estimated 21 mpg city/22 mpg highway, and that just seems uncool in conjunction with a contest that’s promoting green living.
What’s superior are the appliances inside the home, such as the Kenmore HE5t Steam Washer, which uses 73 percent less water and 77 percent less energy than typical washers. That’s a green prize worth winning.
