What fade? I see no fading at all. I see the search results constantly updating whenever I change the text in the search box, in real time, and it is absolutely badass. I'm a ghost-writer who gets paid to write uni papers, so this will increase my pay because of the smaller amount of time it will take to research a topic. i7 & 6GB of RAM, triple monitors, 50-100 tab browsing, searching multiple engines at once, research organization software/sidebar, and this feature == Less time to make x$, fitting more money into my workday. Thanks, Google.

Give ME a break. I can't believe the "bug bounty hunters" would really sell a Google vulnerability for a thousand dollars - I used to mindlessly wipe asses and roll people over for two weeks for that. It's an insult to their intelligence considering the amount of work they put into the penetration-testing/logic analysis involved. An average-sized college internet-portal exploit would be worth $1,000... let alone one of the largest web services company in the world. I think $10,000 is much more appropriate.

Comment Re:Commercial Payload Companies (Score 4, Insightful) 60

How can someone just whip out a "commercial satellite bus" business without having a launch vehicle? I'm sure as soon as the half-dozen companies you referenced (plus more that will inevitably be created) are fully functional, "payload launching" will be the next large commercial step.

Amen. I cannot even recall an occasion when Flash has crashed.

I must say, my Vista machine with an i7 and 6gb of RAM has never truly crashed. People piss and moan while I couldn't ask for more. There are over 30 tabs open on this browser instance, to the point where the tabs on the top show not even the favicon. On my second/minimized instance of Chrome, I have over 20 tabs, but at least the favicons are displayed. This includes multiple tabs of Pac-Man on level 5-15, and multiple Youtubes. My taskbar has so many applications minimized on it that it has switched from 1 column to 2 columns and I can no longer read the titles of anything I have open (I go mostly by memory/quick trial and error to find what I need when it gets to this point). I have 1 IE, 3 other Firefox windows, Limewire/MediaMonkey, 6 notepads, 3 OpenOffice Writers, my AV, Ventrilo, etc. I have VC#.Net IDE opened, along with BitPim (to fix a cellphone). My computer only costed $2,300 and still has a full warranty. So if anything goes wrong, I'll just send its ass in. RAM = 73% full, CPU = 4% (considering all of the above) while just reading.

People complain about Flash, Windows, etc, because they are attempting to fit ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.

If only people would be disciplined enough to make/save and spend $2,000 on a high-quality machine, they wouldn't have so much to complain about. Vista is an incredible operating system for me, and runs so beautifully it is not funny. I got clocks, Youtube, Wikipedia, RAM/CPU monitors, calculator, notepad widget, and todo list on my Vista sidebar and they have ALWAYS worked FLAWLESSLY. Nearly everything on this machine has worked flawlessly.

You can tell that you apparently didn't learn English in the US school system or all those dumb rules would've been taught to you. Double consonants, vowel-consonant cases, etc. Eugene Delacroix would be pronounced "Yoo-Jeen Deh-Lah-Cwah" ... it's somewhat simple if you were raised with it.
