I use a Windows phone for the same reason. That, and the fact its the only mobile operating system without a built in backdoor for CarrierIQ

I don't know any techies that use Yahoo! for much outside of the free fantasy sports leagues.

Even after re-branding they still come off as a company that just doesn't get it. S.O.Y. = Same Old Yahoo

As a resident of Michigan, I can concur that this is the worst weather I have ever seen in my life. I am under 40, but I seem to remember getting hit by something similar back in the mid 90s.

The amount of registry keys and hooks alone left behind by Norton when I uninstalled it from a co-workers laptop would keep me from letting it touch any of my machines. +1 for treating it as malware

Not to mention they have severely hampered the ability to limit permissions on a per app basis, and you have a recipe for disaster.
