[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu's default search engine to change in deal withYahoo

[Lori Paniak]

It's barely a settings change.  It is a list re-ordering:  On 9.10,
Google is the first choice (default) for searches, Yahoo second.  Just
click on chevron beside the search box to pick your favourite.

In the end it is about $$.  Canonical is a business and as such it needs
to make some money occasionally.  Good for Canonical, good for FF and
good for FLOSS!
