CoolFX writes "Developers of KDE have announced plans to simplify searching for files on the open-source Linux desktop environment by adding a Google-style search feature. The next version of KDE, which will either be called 3.4 or 4, is expected to include the new search feature... Aaron Seigo, a KDE developer, said the community has already been discussing and writing code for the new search engine at the KDE Community World Summit."

    Because they're complete fucktards engaging in shitfuckery. They think google is cool and thus they want to be associated with google so that some of that cool will rub off on them. Sort of like when I tell ladies in the club that I'm going to fuck them John Holmes-style, except I actually will be fucking them John Holmes-style, whereas this "Google like" is just a fantasy wrapped in a delusion stuff in a butt plug.
