C'mon, Ty, she's a Microsoft fangirl! And one of the most ardent ones I've ever come in contact with, to be sure. But, hey, if your tools accomplish the tasks and all that...

Typical of this damn computer and Windows Vista. Junk appearing and functions changing randomly.

I am on google many times a day and haven't looked at my cookies in months!

    If you don't turn it off, Google tries to guess what you are
    searching for.  And you won't necessarily hear what is being
    added to your terms before you hit enter.

    There seems to be a new link asking users of screen readers to
    click to turn off Google Instant what ever that is. I haven't
    seen that before today.

        The google accessible search interface, which was here:

        http://labs.google.com/accessible/

        is now gone/inactive, and when looking for reasoning, I found
        the following blog related to google's labs
        development/experiments, so seems will just have to go back
        to using the normal google search for now...:

        Pity, since the accessible search interface was quite a bit
        cleaner, and also ranked search results a bit differently
        based on the 'cleanliness' of their content, but anyway.
