Google results aren't accessible?

Undecided Question

Google results aren't accessible?

More computer trouble here. For some reason, whenever I click on a site google suggested, it takes a while to load and redirects me to some anti virus page, or a job search page, or an auto insurance page. I've tried on multiple browsers, it does the same thing. I can't access any google result. It'll search just fine, but I can't get onto any of the sites. Typing the sites into the URL bar works fine though. I believe the same thing happens with other search engines as well, such as bing, and yahoo. I really need to be able to use these search engines, so…any ideas? Thanks!

So… Toyota's not perfect after all?

So… Toyota's not perfect after all?

I read this article here..
http://finance.yahoo.com/insurance/artic…

Seems that Toyota let quality slide in its all-out effort to boost profits and become the largest auto maker, now it's paying the price.
The sales halt was required by law, it was not voluntary.
They won't say how long they knew there could be a problem with unintended accelleration.
It may have been present in 2002-2003 models.
They cut corners on quality testing to get parts out quicker.
In 2005, they recalled more vehicles than they sold.
This is all in the article, and more.
So basically, they decided in the late 90's to stop concentrating on quality and focus on profits and market share. Ford changed their focus on product and quality. Which company has better headlines TODAY?? Which company has a better outlook for the rest of 2010?

In a Financial Pickle need advice bad!?

Undecided Question

In a Financial Pickle need advice bad!?

Hello Yahoo Answer's Community!!

I am in a situation that I really need help/advice on which path to take. Last year around Feb./March, me and my brother decided to switch cars, both which were and still are under auto loans, one being a 2001 Audi TT(which was my brothers, but is mine after the switch) and a 2006 Eclipse(which was mine until the switch to my brother). We both agreed that we would pay each others loan payment on time. Well about the beginning of summer last year my brother blew the clutch in the Eclipse. He got it fixed and all was well. At the mid of the summer of last year my brother yet again blew the clutch and flywheel. He put it in a shop to be looked at, and after finding out that he had to pay to fix the clutch and flywheel again, he went out and bought another car instead of fixing the Eclipse. About the beginning of August, I start getting calls from the loan place for the Eclipse stating that it is two months behind on payments. My brother, also my roommate, told me he lost his job and was in the process of finding another so that he could catch up on the payments and fix the car, and asked if I could help him out. I said no problem as I didn't want a repo to happen in my name. After awhile my brother got a job and was making a few monthly payments, with help form me here and there. About mid December I get two calls, one from the loan place for the Eclipse and the shop in which my brother has let the car sit for close to 6 months without staying in touch with the mechanic, and had accrued a $3,000 storage fee for just letting it sit there. The loan place says that the car is 3 months behind in payments ,and somehow learned that the Eclipse was in the shop for 6 months, had threatened me with a Repo. Me not wanting a repo on my credit, franticly made a deal with the loan place to pay the three months, and to get the car out of the shop. I paid the three months payment for the Eclipse, and was able to talk the mechanic from $3,000 to $300 (I kinda knew the guy, and let him know the situation), and took it to another shop. I took the car from my brother, because he does not have a steady job to make the payments or to get the car fixed. The shop quoted me $3,000 for the car to be fixed. On top of all this mess, I get a letter from the Eclipse loan place stating that insurance has not been kept on the car, so they added their coverage( 2 x $2,700 ) to the loan, which drastically raised the monthly payment.

I have kept up on my half of the bargain and still pay and drive the Audi, as it is my only means of transportation. I do have a family to support, and with the drastic jump in monthly payments on the Eclipse as well as the $3,000 mechanic fee, I am unable to afford it. I am unsure what legal action I have as me and my brother did not sign anything. What should I do. Should I bite the bullet and do a volunteer repo of the Eclipse and be forced with the fees since the car is in my name, or is there any legal action that I can take to have my brother take responsibility for his own mess?

What's up with the Obama ads on Yahoo?

What's up with the Obama ads on Yahoo?

Everytime I log on to check my emails, I see one ad or other about Mr. Obama asking moms and dad to go back to school or giving money away to home-owners or lowering auto insurance costs in some states, or… where does all this money come from? Shouldn't Mr. Obama focus on lowering the deficit?

why is yahoo scanning my hard drive?

Why is yahoo scanning my hard drive?

I noticed the other day my hard drive was going crazy, and when I checked my firewall logs I noticed yahoo (IP address: 77.238.187.43, Name: 13.ycs.vip.uls.yahoo.com) was scanning my hard drive. Now I know why every time I search for a vacation spot or auto insurance information, I receive spam from yahoo in my mailbox telling me how I can save on traveling and auto insurance. Isn"t this an invasion of privacy? How is this legal?

Solve the problem, Statistics. im confused. help anyone?

In 2002, the mean expenditure for auto insurance in a certain state was $806. An insurance salesperson in this state believes that the mean expenditure for auto insurance is less today. She obtains a simple random sample of 32 auto insurance policies and determines the mean expenditure to be $781 with a standard deviation of $39.13. Is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean expenditure for auto insurance is less than the 2002 amount at the ?? = 0.05 level of significance?
A) H0: μ = $806, H1:μ < $806, Z = -3.61, P-value = http://answers.yahoo.com/question/0.0005; reject H0. There is sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to support the salesperson's claim that the mean expenditure for auto insurance is less than the 2002 amount.
B) H0: μ = $806, H1:μ < $806, Z = -3.61, P-value = http://answers.yahoo.com/question/0.0005; do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to support the salesperson's claim that the mean expenditure for auto insurance is less than the 2002 amount.
C) H0: μ = $806, H1:μ < $806, t = -3.61, P-value = http://answers.yahoo.com/question/0.0005; reject H0. There is sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to support the salesperson's claim that the mean expenditure for auto insurance is less than the 2002 amount.
D) H0: μ = $806, H1:μ < $806, t = -3.61, P-value = http://answers.yahoo.com/question/0.0005; do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to support the salesperson's claim that the mean expenditure for auto insurance is less than the 2002 amount. State conclusion to significance test in terms of the null hypothesis

How much of a settlement should I expect for an auto accident?

by on Apr.05, 2010, under finance

How much of a settlement should I expect for an auto accident?

I assume that it varies for each person so what I mean is how much does a typical insurance company usually settle for when it comes to injuries? Where do they draw the line?

I was in a automobile accident that was not my fault. The other driver went left of center and hit me head on. I was taken to the hospital with multiple injuries. I am still receiving medical attention related to the accident. I hired a lawyer to represent me. After I receive my settlement and take out my lawyer's fees (33.3%) and what I owe for medical expenses How much should I expect to have? My vehicle was totaled and any money I receive to replace my vehicle is separate from the money I should receive for injuries.

I guess what I'm asking is this. What is the value of pain and suffering? I've heard some people say they broke even while others had told me they got as much as $10,000 after all fees were paid. I'm not sure how one case made money while the other broke even.

Sorry for the multiple questions here, but I didn't want to flood Yahoo Answers with multiple posts.

Have any of you really checked into the amount of health auto insurance profits?

Have any of you really checked into the amount of health insurance profits?

It's pretty meager. I wouldn't by their stock. Your auto insurance, grocery store, Yahoo inc. all have way higher margins.
