Thanks for the link Liviu.

I find it interesting that the book search is considered Google's "moon shot."
Interesting analogy to create. I can only hope that this "moon shot" spurs as much development and creativity as the real one did. Unfortunately, the gist of the article argues against such development and advancement.

In a bizarre side note, has anyone ever noticed that "google" as a word meanly an approximation of infinity is flagged as a misspelling, but the at "Google" as a company is a perfectly cromulent word?
