    Got this from Slashdot.

    East Side Journal reports that without telling anyone, Microsoft has suddenly changed the privacy preferences for all Hotmail users. They're now sharing your name and other personal information with third parties, even if you said you didn't want that when you signed up. (If you're a user, login, go to Options > Personal Profile, and un-check the boxes at the bottom of that page.)

    Yahoo have been up to that kind of rubbish too lately - signing people up for free offers when they specified otherwise. Damn them all to hell.
