Ask Jeeves to Introduce Jeeves9000

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday April 1, 2005 @11:51AM from the i-can't-do-that-jeeves dept.

delymyth writes "The future of search arrives and is brought to you by Ask.Com. He'll help you in your searches, he'll help you at home, and the price is affordable, only $399,99! If you still think it's too much, you can always get a free version, but sometimes he'll suggest you some products (you know, robotic adware). A demo video is available." Personally I still think Ask Jeeves bought for $2 billion is a hoax.

  And for your information everyone knows that Slashdot Jumped the Shark weeks ago when they had 2 Dupes for serious stories on their front page in the same day.
