The merging of the address bar and search bar gives Google too much control over navigation. It separates companies and website operators from their website addresses and brands.
Companies spend heavily to establish and maintain brands. Google has just imposed itself between consumers and businesses. Direct navigation has now become proprietary search, whereby Google uses its discretion to filter out web addresses and domains that it deems less relevant.
I object and I hope you do too.
Going to a VA hospital can be hard for some people because it can bring back painful feelings about their military experiences. The staff and volunteers at VA hospitals are careful about creating a safe atmosphere.
Last week I was back in the prosthetics department at the Seattle VA hospital to be fitted for a brace. The place is cramped. The narrow hallway makes it tricky to maneuver gurneys in and out of the fitting rooms. The place is in a basement.
The patients there have lost more than those that one usually sees in other departments. Not just body parts, but they also seem to be more bereft of social support and spouses than elsewhere. This puts a higher psychological workload on staff.
It's hard to put into words the appreciation due to the people who work in the prosthetics field at the VA. But I'll try. Thank you.
From the demo versions floating around the Puget Sound, Vista's biggest new features are its search engine functions and semi-transparency built into the display. If users' problems revolved around not being able to find document files, then this would be world changing. But a lot of novice users have trouble finding system files and program features--and Vista is not going to help them in this regard.
The search features are already available in the MSN desktop search program that can be downloaded for free. It looks nifty but lacks Boolean features that are essential for generating optimal results.
