That explains why my mom came into my room earlier today and started saying how Ask Jeeves has been all over the television lately.

I'm wondering what this will do to the search engine market ... isn't Expedia owned by MSN?

ohhhhhh Really :eek:

I was thinking about buying that website :cry:

just kidding :cheesy:

anyway I hope whoever bought that search engine will work hard to provide a better service for scientists and researchers.

And if there are any new coming auctions, let me know soon so I can save some cash.
