Even if they got away with taking a bribe, they would still end up losing. Google is the one search engine that works worth a damn. Yahoo drifts off topic in no time, and Bing is just lipstick on the Live Search pig.

0 and 100 may not mean anything in Fahrenheit, but freezing and boiling are 180 degrees apart, as such opposites should be. I propose Fahrenheit Mark II. The degrees are the same distance apart, but 0 is freezing and 180 is boiling.

I can borrow a real book from a library, and return it after I read it. I can lend a real book to a friend without losing the use of an expensive and easily breakable piece of electronics until he is done. Ebooks are a ripoff. Anything with DRM is.
