Yahoo! (YHOO Quote) is all set to launch the new my.yahoo.com. I've used my.yahoo.com as my home page for the past 10 years so I'm excited, and nervous, to see changes.

Clear AM blew my mind with this one. I thought Apple (AAPL Quote) was onto something with the iPhone. But Clear AM takes a look at a recent patent filed by Google for the "Google Phone."


When I was a kid I used to love Friendly's (FRN Quote). They've gone downhill ever since, and now 13D Tracker notes they are putting themselves up for sale. Good luck with that.
