    Will be nice to follow how much the optimizations in 2010 will make it harder, better, faster, stronger...

    What if they did a scrolling banner at the bottom of the screen and just let the TV show play through? Or have it like ESPN when they show scores during a game. There's an audible alert, the screen resizes slightly, and information pages are displayed for a minute or so.

    Has that ever been tried?

    It's a good thing America wasn't formed in the 21st Century. Our national animal would probably be the lol cat.

    Great article. Some commenters below have noted that Microsoft's role in this is unconfirmed but the article's point still stands: if Microsoft were to actively promote information differentiation between the search engines, it would force us to perform the same search multiple times just to be thorough and that would be very, very bad.

    Of course it's slower. It takes time to secretly cache every keystroke.

    @not_a_virus.exe.vbs: If you can't immediatly see apllications for it, it's not for you.

    From what I've seen it would be primarily used by college students (mostly graduate level PhD MBA type stuff), people who work with coworkers who are spread out geographically, and people wanting to do DnD roleplaying.

    @not_a_virus.exe.vbs: Good point. I think part of the reason they did that is because the crowd that can use it the most (mobile workers, startup companies, web devolopers, college students) seems to like the hype.

    Sigh. Damnit Giz, you're already well known for your blatant Apple bias and now you're posting downright anti Microsoft stories based on rumour and here say alone? Never mind the fact that none of this is confirmed. Never mind that it's just Murdoch stirring some shit up that'll probably never even happen.

    Never mind the fact that if this happens at all it's going to be mostly Rupert fucking Murdochs fault.

    You deny it but this IS typical Microsoft bashing. You can't claim otherwise when you're calling Microsoft evil every other paragraph and in the title no less. This could have been an article on JUST the dangers of splitting searches if this does all go down. Instead it's that with a minefield of corporate bis, based on little more than rumour, thrown in.

    "This is from a company who's CEO recently told us that sales are more important than critical acclaim, preferring profit over better product."

    Shocking. I believe you've just described a characteristic of capitalism's reality.

    The fact that Microsoft would pay money to the King of Shitbags (Rupert Murdoch) so they can do business together just makes me sick to my stomach.

    Holy mother of crap. I knew that folks were actually taken with the Droid (when your "normal friends" start talking about it voluntarily, it catches your attention), but I had no idea it was moving that fast!

    This is getting exciting.
