Seriously, this boink/smurf business is a valid business risk to Yahoo. Imagine some stud coming up with a systematic way to crash YHOO's site for hours at a time, over and over again. (Then they'd move on to ONSL and EGRP, hopefully) AOL lost $5 a share last year when they went off for 12 hours.

You have to believe that if YHOO was having the same technical difficulties SI has had this weekend, it would be an exciting Monday morning...
