I have watched users do this, and it is pretty obvious why. To the neophyte, there are just these boxes where you type in stuff. It is not clear that one is part of the browser and one is being generated by a web page. Advertisers take advantage of this same misunderstanding when they have ads that look like dialog boxes. Which reminds me, I don't know how to tell you this, but, your computer is not optimized for downloading!

Sure, 110% fair might be good enough for now, but as soon as another search engine comes along that is 120% fair Google will be left in the dust. If you ask me, they should stop focusing on things like Google News and starting working on raising their percent fairness. I personally don't like having to settle for less than 200% fairness.
