O negative can be used BY everyone...this is why it's called the universal donor.
AB positive can get blood FROM everyone...this is why it's called the universal recipient.
Here's a website that explains what is compatable with what:

O positive can donate to any blood type except O negative.
Only O negative can donate to all other blood types.
Conversely, AB+ can receive from all other blood types.

Yes because it doesn't have either the A or B antigen and therefore won't elicit a reaction with anitbody to A or B.

That's right. O positive is the universal donor and A positive is the universal recipient.

That is correct, but I see several people were wrong about this. I am O+, so I am in demand as a donor to everyone. Negative can cause problems with babies.
