Yeah, the video music is hella annoying. Not to mention the person typing is slow as hell. Way to show a piece of crap demonstration. Anyone who uses the computer daily types faster than 5 words a damn minute. (Damn.. wish I could digg this down.. arghh)Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

You either can't read or you're an idiot. Either way you are a waste of space.

Seriously...who the hell really goes to google.com to search? Since at least IE 7 most people just use the search box in their browsers.

I like Google Instant a lot better but it fails when I misspell words in other languages. I do a lot of food related searches but suck spelling french words.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Even if you do type super fast and know exactly what you're searching for, Google Instant still saves time from not requiring you to press enter. :D

You get so distracted by the preloading reusults that it actually takes longer to search for what you originally wanted to find.
