Yahoo Toolbar

The Yahoo Toolbar is an Add-On for the Windows Explore or Firefox/Mozilla web browsers. It competes with the Google Toobar. The toolbar is installed on the users web browser, and then gives the user quick access to Yahoo's search engine. you can also customize it with other features. The biggest problem with Yahoo's Toolbar is that it is being bundled into all different types of software. So users who install these software applications; then have Yahoo Toolbar installed in IE, Firefox, Opera, ect. What makes this such a problem is that most user never read the Terms of Service that they are forced to "Agree" to before they install the software. Mainly because it is several pages if documents that don't make a lot of sense to the average user. So if the user is never given a chance to Allow or Deny the install of the Toolbar itself; it will be "Force Installed" onto the users computer without their knowledge. Many users have no idea how to uninstall the Toolbar once it is installed; which further causes aggravation to the user. And since the Toolbar is installed not just on 1 browser, but ALL web browsers on that users computer; the user will have to find a way to uninstall it from every browser it is effecting. An every growing number of software is coming bundled with this Toolbar. So a typical user that installs new software a few times a month; runs the chance of having the Toolbar Re-Installed each and every time. This is reminiscent of AOL; where they harassed customers with CD's and bundled their software with as many different types of software applications as possible. Even coming Pre-Installed with new computers. This ultimately failed and AOL lost over 99 Billion dollars in a matter of 1 year. Users eventually got sick of being bombarded with AOL software. So Yahoo risks pushing away customers by using this "Forced Installed" tactic. The Yahoo Toolbar also invades the users web browsing habits. Yahoo states this is to help Yahoo and their Advertisers. So basically Yahoo makes money from invading and selling the users privacy and the user is never given any of that revenue.

God Damn it man! Every week I end up installing something that installs this stupid Yahoo Toolbar onto my computer! I'm sick of uninstalling something I was never even asked to install in the first place! I hope Yahoo ends up just like AOL. Broken, poor and on deaths door!

toolbag

A person so inept as to be utterly useless in any capacity; not just a tool, but an entire bag FOR tools, making him/her a repository for all things lacking any socially acceptable value.

"Did you hear that John got his hand caught in the toilet when he dropped his cell phone down the hole and tried to fish it out? What a toolbag!"

tool

a metal ish, cult ish band that kicks ass in many's opinion and plays in complex time signatures. It is criticized by many people and is criticized due to the fact that they never even took the time to try and get int tool and even though they say we jsut argue about stuff that we really dont know about, I wouldn't be talking considering if you don't like tool you probably know little to nothing about it so you should look into it. The singer is Maynard James Keenan, Bass player is Justin Chancellor, guitarist is Adam Jones, and the drummer is Danny Carey.

Dude I just heard Tool on the radio. Wow you don't hear that very often.

tool

someone who is both pathetic in their attempts to be socially accepted and a jerk to those who may not accept them because of the typical way they present themselves

Total Tool

A tool of rare form. One can spot a total tool from the culmination of an abnormal amount average tool traits. ie The Florida orange tan, the popped collar, the multiple popped collars, the jelled and spiky hair, an intelligence that would rival his peers at the special Olympics etc.One should take both the amount and severity of traits into consideration before declaring this special person a "total tool".

I think Jimmy has reached the pinnacle of all tooldom and become a Total tool.

Tool academy

a show full of wiggers,a bit niggers ,and white trash men who are complete douchebags / tool to their girlfriends.this show on vh1 is basically teaching a whole bunch of assholes on how to become better boyfriends for their partner.this means not treating women like shit(like their gf's) and becoming a better man.i honestly think the girlfriends of the men on this show are fucking stupid bitches because why would anybody put up a asshole boyfriend,have your brother fuck your boyfriend up..at the end of the show only one man wins he wins money,becomes a changed man(well at least thats what we think) and a happier girlfriend.most of the women of the men are also white showing white women are easy and soft

i would like to see all the men of the tool academy have black or latina girlfriends.i wounder if they could dominate them like they do to the white women

one day i would want to find all the men of the tool academy and beat the shit out of them and have sex with their girlfriends in front of them
