You've seen through my humble attempt at drollness via feigned ignorance.

Computer dudes know better than to "google". Clustered results are much better.

Do you actually believe that the G-Evil company provides better search results? There is no scientific evidence to show that, and several private studies (that I am privey to, being a search expert) that indicate otherwise.

Maggie, Google is a Silicon Valley company; all other Silicon Valley companies you distrust. Why the affinity for such an evil empire? I have met with Google on three seperate occasions and I know them well. They are very evil; you have no idea. Why do you like them?

That's an unsupported sweeping generality...you're just cranked becuase I think your latest "WiFi NetZero" Kool-Ade smells of fish.

And "privey" sounds like where that objection belongs, too; finding the definition for a foreign word doesn't exactly require the best search engine on the planet...whatever you may believe that means. There are currently twelve engines in my search bar; I'm satisfied with Google for routine stuff such as the above. My sympathies if they compete with your advertising business.

Since you're a "search expert" you'd probably better get used to the fact that-like it or not-"google" has become a generic term for web search. (So much so that maybe they should scramble a little to protect the trademark.)
