Wow, they fucked up. If someone uses axis now, can they legally just do whatever the hell they want?

#42Re: Yahoo Axis
#43I've never uninstalled a browser plugin so quickly. It really is just what you think it is: a 2001-era search toolbar, except without the useful list of search results. Just thumbnails that tell you nothing about the result.

Hate to be that guy but, I just played it fine in IE9. I don't have chrome on this box to test.
Re: Yahoo Axis
#44Is there any other products currently that can sync your desktop to your mobile device? I haven't been too successful finding anything.
Chrome and the Chrome Beta on ICS have this built in.
Re: Yahoo Axis
#45Not supported for my operating system. (I run Linux.) I thought this was a browser plugin?
Yahoo! never cared for Linux users. Remember the Linux version of Yahoo! Messenger? It lagged behind the Windows version so much before being quietly removed. Coincidentally, I never care much for Yahoo! anymore.

#46"Watch the Ad!" Is there anything that shows how out-of-touch Yahoo better than the idea of wasting 1/3 of the above-the-fold space with something that warns people in advance it is nothing more than an ad ? Call it "Learn More" or something - anything but this. Didn't they A/B test it? (Or maybe I'm part of the unsuccessful half of an A/B test. Hmm..)
Yep, group B here too. Coincidentally, I clicked on one video and not the other...
Group C
I stared at it, grunted a bit, then went off and made a cup of tea.
Re: Yahoo Axis
#47A lot of people here are negatively judging this product on the basis that it's from Yahoo. I think that's extremely premature and close-minded. Give it a chance will you? I personally think the iPad app is fantastic. The ability to pull down search results and visually see their content was a great idea and I think this makes Axis much more appealing to use over Safari. I think I'm actually going to replace Safari w…
Agreed. All the hate is unnecessary. Give it 5 minutes before pilling on Yahoo and the past decisions of it's board.
The idea of taking browsing with you is nice feature that Im suprised hasn't been implemented so well by other operating system / browsers. As such, I'd expect Windows8 and WindowsPhone8 to have tight integration and hopefully have features like this.
Re: Yahoo Axis
#48So it's a new toolbar? Just what decade is Yahoo! living in? Edit: What strikes me is how this is being billed: "A Chrome killer" and even the demo and ad spot use the phrasing "new browser": however this is not a browser. It may be a /browsing experience/ perhaps but it certainly doesn't stand to compete with Chrome mano-a-mano. Clearly the true target is search. But even then: has the world been waiting breathlessl…
On iOS it is actually a browser. You are being dismissive without even knowing the facts. Additionally, Yahoo! has never called it Chrome killer.
I bet you on iOS it's a UIWebView.

#49The guy in the desktop video would be more convincing if only he would stop shaking his head "no".
I came here to say exactly this. Whoever was in charge of their video design failed majorly. The constant head shaking was very disconcerting to me and I felt like he had no confidence in his own product.
Re: Yahoo Axis
#50Yahoo Axis isn't actually a browser its just a plugin which shows in the bottom left hand corner of your existing browser.
However despite the advanced knowledge regarding the launch of this, Yahoo! Axis software license and service terms[1] states:
"Terms will go here."
There's a screenshot which shows it incase they update the page[2].
