Go watch this before these guys get a C&D from Lucass (yes, I know it’s spelled wrong) or Steve “iSue” Jobs. Flash, but funny. Link

Want to know what Google killer looks like? Check out Yahoo!’s Mindset Searching. Adjust the slider to adjust the search results based on the intent of your search (are you shopping or researching?)

The need of the hour is for some senior members of the party of Lincoln […]
