That's interesting, Liquid. I had seen that somewhere also and wasn't really able to figure out what it all means. But I'm sure we'll find out in time!
And a free tip for you as a budding scoopster... if you pull a news item from somewhere, or are following a tip you read somewhere, the general standard is to put a small excerpt or summary of the original text, plus a link to the article. Or if not putting a link, at least something like "(Via Slashdot)". Keeps us out of trouble that way also!
Take care! If you find out what all this turns out to imply for the future at Google, post a reply to this thread and let us know...
