More here. Includes link to the Downing St. petition: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news... - Richard Chen

how very sad. - Sheila Taylor

Pretty bad for the "good guys" in WWII, eh? Doubly sad that it (apparently) caused him to commit suicide. So we lost one of the greatest minds in computer science in his early 40s. - Joel Webber

What a sad story... I hope they do apologize. Here's a link to the petition, but you have to live in the UK to sign: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/turing... - Shannon Jiménez

If the British government doesn't apologize for murdering Turing, they will be no better than the Nazi enemy that threw homosexuals into the gas chambers alongside the Jews and Gypsies. Wasn't he supposed to be on *our* side? The *Law* didn't think so... - Dennis Jernberg

We're still not very nice to gays. Apologizing for the past makes a statement. Correcting the present makes a difference in people's lives. I hope we do both. - Andrew Warner from iPhone

The man was an absolute genius, its a pity he could not live further to expand our horizons of thinking. His abstract computing device called "Turing Machine" is for computer scientists what speed of light is for physicists, an ultimate limit of computation - thequark

Andrew agree. This is sad. I hope we can "correct the present." - Rick Cogley

They should apologize for throwing Oscar Wilde in the clink as well. - Joel Webber

If we follow the line of reasoning where the current government must apologize for all previous governments then it eventually reaches the point of absurdity. Besides how meaningful is an apology on behalf of someone else? - Adewale Oshineye

Ok, I was being a bit silly about Wilde (there are plenty of things the Victorians could apologize for). But Turing was abused by what could be argued to be the "current" government (or at least political system), and that we still think of as the "good guys" (for wont of a better term) in WWII. And it was only ~50 years ago. - Joel Webber

Whoa, the glass-walled three story elevator is the business. - Andrew C (✓)

and those shadows are the seller, :) - chaz2b

I must admit, The Shadows are quite impressive, it would be interesting to see a Night Shot, too see if the Shadows are still there with a Full Moon! - Herman D. Lawson

the clock window seems very Batman villain like. - Roshan Vyas

It sucks to hear the bell every hour, though :-P - Andre P. Siregar

Wow... looks like a gorgeous place to live. - Yolanda

Looks a bit like the set of "Birds of Prey". - Spidra Webster

Nice one. It looks like having two big clocks as windows. - Bernie Goldbach

I wonder if a front for Barbara Gordon rents it - RAPatton from iPod

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...would drive you crazy! - Anne Bouey

ok. I'll take it off your hands for $23 mill. Deal? - Jordan Brock

You don't need to spend more for a clock on your wall :P - Emre Öktem

I imagine it goes to: http://profiles.yahoo.com/updates... - Adewale Oshineye

The "What are you doing" is also present in Yahoo! Mail as well. - Atul Arora

I don't know - do you think only 4 sites wanting to know "what I'm doing" is enough? If only there was a site that aggregated all of my status updates into one place :) - Adam Kazwell

I just checked my Yahoo profile and it thinks I'm still 24 years old because when it asked me 12 years ago it asked how old I was, not what my birthday was. Seriously. - Kevin Fox

They also let you preview your Gmail inbox in the new profile? - Frankie Warren

#facepalm - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Kevin: Just go with the birthday thing. - Jason Shellen

I think I might be the only one who thinks Yahoo's new approach is a good move. They're going to drag social into their search and news portal ... and even if it works half-way they've siphoned eyeballs away from others ... and most notably they do so in an environment where they're likely to search. It's the inverse of what Facebook should do ... which is buy Netvibes and offer a... more... - AJ Kohn

I wonder if Lycos will eventually ape this... - Tyson Key

Kevin, my age is off also, and I can't find any way to change it. - Stephen Mack

Is this only enabled on US Yahoo! accounts, out of interest? I've signed into my UK one, for the first time in ages, and I don't have the status update link. - Tyson Key

I always read this as "what are you DOING??!!??" lol - anna sauce

It doesn't matter. I've just noticed that it's available on http://profiles.yahoo.com/ when signed in. - Tyson Key

Grrr, I don't want my age to show, and there's no way to turn it off. That is so wrong! - Rachel Garb

OMG this is soo dumb... augh! how can these lameO companies still be around... ?! - Susan Beebe

I agree with all the criticism, but I also know that Yahoo's audience is decidedly not you and me. - Jason Wehmhoener

Jason: they're ageless? - Kevin Fox from iPhone

Heh, not particularly detail oriented is more like it. - Jason Wehmhoener
