I wonder if any of the writers will see a penny of that settlement?

I've never laughed harder after reading your post. Yahoo and MSN combined have almost 28% of the search market versus the 66% Google has (according to Hitwise).

Don't forget that Yahoo has a much bigger share than Microsoft in the search market. The only way I see this deal having a sliver of hope is MS dumping MSN and handing over the search business to the Yahoo people. And I just don't see that happening.

Google neither makes us dumb or smart. Google simply presents us with information. It is up to the individual how they use that information.

I remember going to the library and looking up a book or two via the computer. I would then go over to that section and look for other books on my topic. I would skim those books to determine which would help me. Google makes that a million times faster.
