As an operation with several dozen websites with fairly substantial traffic, we tend to look at all this from the other direction. Google consistently delivers a whopping THIRTY TIMES more traffic than Yahoo, network-wide. Guess whose "algorithm" we like better...
One hopes for that sake of the distant restaurant that they are not subjected to the same sorts of junk food law suits that earthly fast food restaurants are... and remember, now, everyone, for the sake of your health -- lay off the relativistic doughnuts.
Google's diversification into non-search areas (possibly soon including e-mail services) could well spell trouble for them. IMHO, their greatest asset (thus far) has been their simplicity coupled with their speed. If they attempt to take the route of so many others and develop into a "portal" they may well earn very similar, and unsatisfactory, bottom-line results.
Hah! It may have been a hardware problem, but the "bug" involved was... yes, it's absolutely true... a Martian relieving itself on one of the Spirit motherboards: reported here. Instead of gee-whiz technology, what they really need is anti-whiz -- or maybe just some kitty litter.
Well, I liiim, er, lvoplx, er, liiivee unnnder pwoer liens, and n-n-n-othin gggg has has has has has has has has [thwack thwack] huppened two too to MY brain.
Take food away from spammers?
Heavens!
I certainly would not want to do that!
What I'd really like to do is remove all of their external appendages... including the one in their pants.
Yeah. Great.
All this to discover empty cigarette packs and used condoms.
My grandmother'd be appalled. Not because she never screwed, of course -- she just really hates smoking.
Word wrap? The convenience of readability? Good Pluto's rectum-fired ghost, man, is that all you're concerned over?
Let's see you wrap fish or line the litter box with an e-book...
To me, these issues are far, far more critical.
Ants, bees, and termites are, indeed, quite highly sophisticated and evolved in comparison to mere humans.
Not one of their advanced cultures has ever launched a nuclear weapon.
Patents, patents, patents. By now it's surprising someone hasn't patented the warts on my ass.
What's the next patent war? Will Dell and Compaq fight it out over building Pez Dispensers into their boxes?
Grudgingly, albeit, I must admit -- Netscape 7.1 is pretty snappy.
Technically, it still doesn't offer a great deal of what IE does... but one wonders sometimes if Microsoft's browserworks elves have gotten a bit carried away, anyway -- as extraordinarily few websites ever actually *use* a great many of those bells and whistles.
Anyone for an "IE Light"?

MS often comes very late to the game; but they also often do very well when they do. You know... like Windows, Internet Explorer, etc.

How dare you use those names in the same sentence as the word "singers".

Nowadays it's Minnie dumping Mickey, then off to San Francisco for a lesbian marriage to Sleeping Beauty.

Picky picky picky.

I cannot help but note that my dog, Harry, does manage to spell somewhat better...

If ComCast manages Disney like they do my cable service, a ticket to DisneyLand will cost $4,000.
Yes, Adolph, but it wears the same pants as a rabbi I admire.
