From Planet Ubuntu in a blog post about Canonical reversing it's decision to have Yahoo! as the default search vs. Google...which now Google will once again be the standard in 10.04LTS......
"No, unfortunately, not that (link gone, but pointed to this bug report) decision. The decision to use Yahoo has the default search engine in Mozilla Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04 has been changed back to Google. Granted, I could care less what default search engine is used in Firefox. It’s a setting that can be changed in a very easy and user friendly manner. I’ve also stopped using MemoryLeakFox in favor of a slightly less memory hog, Google Chrome. What gets me is the comment made by Rick Spencer in regard to the decision:
In this case, choosing Google will be familiar to everybody upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04
Last I checked, familiarity was not a valid or adequate reason for basing decisions on. If familiarity has now become a good enough reason, then I know some other bugs that could use another once-over."
Now my comments.
So Mark, Canonical, you WILL reverse decisions.... ok. cool.
So now I must ask, then if with all of this input from people in blogs, with websites even being created AGAINST your boneheaded move, WHY will you NOT reverse this decision that is about as popular as a 3rd presidential term from Resident Bush aka "W")
