- deadlift, on 10/10/2007, -2/+225alexryver, your $5 has been sent. I am a man of my word.
- alexryver, on 10/10/2007, -9/+189It is on Yahoo!'s site, a rival of Google.
I prefer Paypal. My address is alexryver (@) gmail.com - alexryver, on 10/10/2007, -1/+155yea he actually paid. Its like Christmas came early.
- alexryver, on 10/10/2007, -2/+98You know whats cool. This is the first time I commented on digg(i joined yesterday). And its the first time i won anything ever. Thanks deadlift.
P.S. - skyfire's its supposed to be Best. Digger. Ever. - skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+94Best digger ever.

- r0b0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+81I think thebenchase failed...
- Kriz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+65Here's hoping Google will BE the [wireless] Internet by age 11. Go Google, go! get that 700mhz spectrum!
- EvanVolm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+61It's been 10 years? Damn....
- colto, on 10/10/2007, -2/+50Kid learns quick. I think we'll keep him. Welcome to Digg and prepare for a drop in productivity at work.
- nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34GOOD COMPANY!!! WILL SEARCH AGAIN. A+++++++++++++++=+++++++
- Patogrande, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34Seeing this on Yahoo! points out how much they have changed over the past ten years.
- xike, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33Man, if you didn't have gmail, I'd sign you up for so much beastial transexual underage midget clown porn.
- colto, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32link?
- srg13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28From the article:
"Google needs several weeks to troll the Internet and renew its data bank."
Shouldn't that be trawl? As in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trawl ? - WorldGroove, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28deadlift = A real man.
- DscHmi3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+27...and a drop in women.
- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Damn, that's awesome. Congrats man.
- vocaro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23This isn't very ironic. It's just an AFP article that happens to be carried by Yahoo. They carry all the wire services, which means there are dozens of "ironic" articles on Yahoo News. For example: http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20070913/tc_pcworld/137188
- Msoltanian, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Cheers to Google. I want to congratulate their success. Been using their service since early days. A+
- phazon88, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Dugg for Yahoo! not being pussies and having the balls to have this article.
- ajaxfontura, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I remember switching search engines every six months in the 90's (hotbot, altavista, ooh! metacrawler), but have been a Google user since '99. Still waiting for something that's clearly better to come along.
- catalysis, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24hey everyone talks ***** about yahoo!, but they do pretty well. in fact google and many other sites have copied a lot of features that yahoo innovated.
- xike, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Watch out for the idiots also, they travel in mobs.
- JoshuaGross, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19No, that was just Yahoo's one way of getting back at Google.
- jpjandrade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Article dugg just because of this chain of comments.
- OisinT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17epic fail.
- DirtySnachez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14With close to 9 years of your search history profiled and archived, I'd be suprised if they LET you leave.
j/k, I love Google. - paganmonkeyboy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16well, obviously we need to invade in the name of homeland security...
- thefinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I thought '98 was the launch year. No worries though. I can always Google and find out for sure. :)
- hexydes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Does anyone else feel sort of old after reading this headline...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Kudos, keep minds open, not wallets.
- netdroid9, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13No, troll. You see, Goatse is actually the backend for Google Adsense, and Tubgirl is... Well, let's just say that certain internet robots have very, very strange fetishes.
- rjprux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12literally my first thought...
- wisam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I hate it when people really think that they are the only ones who understand irony. Yes, it is ironic that Yahoo! positively reports its rival tenth anniversary. That's poignantly different from expected and therefore is ironic according to the second adj definition that you yourself stated. Its also ironic that your own words failed you, isn't it?
- dymaxium, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Actually, yes, I would find that ironic. Wouldn't happen.
- curme, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I blame Alanis Morissette's lack of understanding of the word 'ironic'. Now everybody thinks everything is ***** ironic.
- chadell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Google has been at the heart of my Internet experience since 1997. Then I was fascinated with the sleek fast search site, now I'm in awe. I'm cautiously using Google for business and personal activities. It is like being married to your boss!
- Authustian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Wow, that page makes my night in so many ways.
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9answers.yahoo.com is cool.
- deadlift, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7i just flipped a coin and you won :|
- MalDON, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Let me guess ... /b/tard?
- deadlift, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7I like you.
- Authustian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5But wouldn't that, in itself, be ironic?
- kenvsryu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Someone's looking to be bought out.
- ElRayQuieres, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I wish you could favorite a comment.
- fatadamblog, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Google isn't the heart, its more like the oversized brains of the internet.
- norbiu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5So you're 12 now?
- Anonymous3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4So... Google Inc. is mostly a bunch of bored teenagers harassing other net users and getting them to visit unknown websites?
