I don't proclaim to have any inside info here, but Market Research like this is typically handled by a third party company and only summary information is passed on to the purchaser (in this case, Yahoo). NDA is so they can fill you in on some upcoming features - although I'm sure it won't be anything spectacular since SOMEONE out there will be fiending to post about it on the web as soon as they leave. And they come to you - you don't go to them. At least that's how I read it. We'll see. I signed up for LA, but I'm actually a good 60 minutes away from there. I'm not driving anywhere for a lousy $200 Not in LA traffic anyways.
