Well, first thing's first: this is not flash, its unobtrusive javascript so that is a huge plus in my book! The pause/play buttons really do help to give the users control, which is good for UX. From a business perspective, the headlines allow Yahoo to keep itself current. And because this is current information, it facilitates snacking. Jakob Nielsen is all in favor of users coming back to a site to nibble...It's more in line with human behavior, and because more and more folks are on DSL etc, the concept of "stickiness" may no longer be valid.
