Google just can't seem to stop ruffling the
feathers of people it seems. After a spectacular earnings report a week ago Thursday, GOOG today settled down big time to a
semi-stratospheric $398.90 at market closing -- a drop of one-hefty figure: over 4.5% from Friday's close. One of the
large items (and we mean, extra large, as in biggie, mucho grande, super size, whatever) of the Google news
day was the apparent moaning it's made to Microsoft about the billion-dollar search bar featured in the next iteration
of the world's
largest web browser, Internet Explorer. Version 7 is due soon, and it will feature an integrated search bar -- just
like its competitor Mozilla Firefox has done for years -- right into the browser. Guess which search engine it will be
-- at least at present -- defaulting to? You win the stuffy bear prize if you can guess. And
no, it's not Alta Vista. You have two more guesses.Firefox search bar posts
