yahoo news sort of works with macs

Monday, March 5, 2007
For at least a couple years, I've been emailing Yahoo regularly with complaints about the fact that Yahoo news video simply fails on macs.

Finally, it sort of works. Tonight, when trying to view a yahoo highlighted video, I was prompted to download several weird components that seemed related to .wmv files. I complied. Now I see stills but no live video. Sometimes I experience multiple audio streams at once when there should be one. Things are not quite right...but I suppose it is progress.

Why is this so hard for yahoo to get right???
