I read this Digg today about Yahoo Go competing with TiVo. I don’t really care about the TiVo part but browsed around to see what Yahoo Go is all about. From their web site:

Introducing Yahoo! Go – a new suite of products and services for your PC, mobile phone and even your TV.

According to this the service is only compatible with Windows but something wasn’t right. Didn’t I see a 12′ PowerBook on their home page? Here’s a another shot. Someone tell me this is a Fujitsu laptop which just looks suspiciously like a Mac.

I realize the graphic artist doesn’t need to know (or care) the technical specs of the Yahoo Go service, however using a stock photo of a PowerBook for a generic laptop is a bad choice for a product which is clearly not Mac compatible. Maybe I’m being too anal?

No, because they got it right with the Nokia 6880 image which does support Yahoo Go. If Yahoo had used a MacBook Pro image we could stretch our imaginations because of BootCamp’s ability to run Windows.
