    Noticed that today.

    For me, they are stretching this 'innovation' malarky a bit too far now.

    If it ain't broke...

          Google's lost its way and it is adding tulip to its prime product the same way Microsoft was adding tulip to office suit from around Office 97 time - stupid Clippy etc.

          It amazes me they'd even consider feature that would increase load on their own servers 5-10 times, though maybe that's good for them as it would increase number of search queries users "perform".

            maybe it's simply "Because they can" and things like server load and the associated costs are manageable even if they get 1 up on Bing, sort of like the supermarket price wars and having loss leaders, get rid of the competition at all costs

                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
