Yesterday was like Christmas for securities lawyers and activist Yahoo shareholders. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer walked away from his $40-plus billion offer on Saturday; shares plunged on Monday; and Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang was widely criticized for acting out of self interest — and not on the behalf of shareholders.

Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Firefox extension Craigslist Image Preview adds a thumbnail of the image(s) within a listing on Craigslist without requiring you to click through to the actual page.
