If anyone ever did have the email address of no@email.com, they've long ago abandoned it to all the spam from Dell...
When I worked in tech support for Dell home accounts, we had to send a confirmation email to everyone we talked to - and if they didn't want to give us an email address, we were all told to send the email to no@email.com so that we had an equal number of emails sent as calls taken.

I would be a big fan of this idea - if you could choose when you wanted to use the feature, and when you wanted to search the "old way". I clearly see how this could be extremely useful when looking for obscure and/or highly specialized topics. But for anything more general, or that simply gets mentioned in passing often, this can create huge numbers of results that actually aren't that great of matches...
Ummm... if you don't like the awards shows, you don't have to watch, you know. Thee are lots of other channels (and turning of the TV, going out, etc are always options).

From my personal experience in cube farms, I have greatly preferred the ones with lower cube walls - the high ones get oppressive and claustrophobic, in my opinion.
I'd rather deal with a bit of extra noise than work all day in a small, isolated box.
