2012 and all that

So Monday saw the much anticipated reveal of the most significant identity to launch in Britain since that of the Millennium Experience in 1999.

Surely this must be some mistake? Apart from the logo, there is almost no difference between the new AOL and Yahoo homepages. It's almost criminal! 26 Apr 2007
