news.yahoo.com — "We are not afraid of Google, but there is intense competition between us. Google is our main competitor, brilliant people work there, but Internet search engines are still in a terrible state compared to where they could be," Gates was quoted as saying in the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot.

Gates: "but Internet search engines are still in a terrible state compared to where they could be"What's so terrible about them? I almost always find exactly what I'm looking for on Google, in about 0.3 seconds. Seems ok to me, certainly not "terrible".

Bill Gates's main competitor is his own hubris. And a bald, chair-throwing monkey.

Results 1 - 20 of about 3,000,000 for porn 1 - 20 of about 3,640,000 for cat Which proves there are more cat images on the net then porn? Google really needs to fix image search :)

quote from some site was on digg" As a really simple example, take this arbitrary exercise: You want to move five lines (paragraphs) from the middle of a text document to the end. In MS Word; MS WordPad; or MS Notepad; all “user-friendly�? Windows text editors, the quickest way to do this is: - Ctrl-Shift-Down - Ctrl-Shift-Down - Ctrl-Shift-Down - Ctrl-Shift-Down - Ctrl-Shift-Down - Ctrl-X - Ctrl-End - Ctrl-V That’s assuming you use the keyboard. Otherwise, you need some Click-and-Drag mouse operations and a reliable autoscroll. In vi, however, it is: - d5d - Shift-g - p There’s no comparison: Vi, which is about as user-unfriendly as it gets, beats Microsoft’s offerings hands down. Why? Because vi was designed for functionality, while Microsoft design to be “user-friendly�?. Microsoft break everything down into easy steps, and so it takes far more steps to accomplish the same task.

Google making an OS just does not seem like something I'd convert to. Don't get me wrong, I use Google for e-mail and my primary search engine, and they both work excellent! But I'll still stick with Windows, OS X, and Ubuntu (or Debian) linux distributions.
