Snapfish to shutdown India services

Snapfish, a web-based photo sharing and photo printing service, owned by HP has today announced that it will stop its India Operations. Snapfish was acquired by HP in 2005 and began its operations in India in 2007. It was one of the early entrants in online photo printing services in India, but looks like it has not quite taken off well. An email sent by Snapfish today states that all orders must be completed by September 16th 2013 and have recommended to avail similar services offered by Photojaanic

Apart from India, snapfish is ceasing its service in the following countries:  Belgium, Netherlands and Spain.

Following is the email about service discontinuation from Snapfish:

Yahoo Mail Rolls Out Contextual Advertisements

Looks like Yahoo has slowly and silently launched contextual ads for search within in its email. A while back I was searching for an email from ebay and when clicked on the magnifier icon to invoke search, the result was strikingly different. I could clearly see the advertisement/paid listing on the top of the results as shown in the picture below. Interestingly, I tried searching with other senders/keywords but the result did not include any paid listing!
