Yahoo Fast One -- 2:26 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Slashdot is reporting that Yahoo has taken it upon itself to reset all of its users' marketing preferences to "Yes." In other words, "Please let any idiot contact me about useless crap." The Slashdot link contains instructions for switching everything back. I checked mine (which I'm currently using for a March Madness pool) and sure enough, everything was marked "yes."

UPDATE! MSNBC got wind of this too.
