What strikes me as odd is that Arjun Mehta is the name of the computer-whiz-kid protagonist in the novel Transmission, by Hari Kunzru, which is set in Silicon Valley. I suppose it must be a common Indian name, but it's a strange coincidence nonetheless.
Do you notice that Google still seems to be smarter when it comes to knowing what you mean?
I study Internet communities and cultures; a search for 'live journal culture' in MSN comes up with pages containing the words live, journal, and culture--nothing useful on the first page at all. Google understands that I really mean 'LiveJournal culture' and finds something good and relevant straight away. Ditto for 'slashdot culture': Google found a Wikipedia article about the Slashdot trolling phenomenon, while MSN just gave me Slashdot articles that mention culture. Google was even helpful when I searched the much vaguer 'internet culture'.
MSN will probably work for those who just want to download Winamp, but it will take you much longer to sift through for meaningful results on more specialized topics.

I'd mod you up if I had points. Grow and the other Eyezmaze games are amazing.
