Calling them just a search engine is short sighted. I caught the Charlie Rose interview with their CEO yesterday, and it was pretty fascinating. Their scope is just ridiculous. I can't relay all the things he talked about, but if you can catch a repeat or audio version it's worth watching/listening. But at any rate, they are/plan on being so much more than a search engine... that's just the prototype interface for everything else they are doing.

The most interesting thing he talked about to me at least, was the internal development structure. That place must be incredible to work at if you are hyper intelligent and at least a little motivated to do something that interests you.

Either way... 80 Billion. Jees.
