Cool OSX (Leopard?) Shortcut

OK - so I'm waiting for people to yell at me saying that this is completely old news, but I found a really cool (and useful) shortcut recently. Completely by accident.

Holding down the Apple key while clicking on an application in the Dock will reveal that application in the Finder. This is really useful - and guess what? It even works in spotlight! The only reason that I was keeping quicksilver around was so that I could quickly "reveal" items in the finder, but now, all that's needed is to activate spotlight, type in the item you want, and hold the apple key when pressing enter on the item.

I think it's cool, at least...that's all that matters, right?

Microsoft/Yahoo

I was reading an article at Roughly Drafted today (http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/02/07/why-does-microsoft-really-want-yahoo/) - and one thing totally hit me that I hadn't thought about before. If Microsoft is actually successful in their bid to buy Yahoo!, then what *is* actually going to happen with all their duplicate services? Do we get Hotmail or Yahoo! mail? Who's search backend will actually be used to power both sites? Will they continue to maintain differently branded portals?

It seems to me like it's a horrible waste of resources to keep both systems going separately - however, at the same time, it would be a waste to discard the brand positioning of either company.
