Why can't you zoom it ? ! I can zoom the screen... but not sure I would want to zoom just one widget. But, nope, I cannot think of a way to do that. > Why no Search Bar ? ! Why not make it an option, if not the default ? ! Saves screen real estate, but if I wanted I could use another browser that had one. I am not locked into Safari. I also have from Safari the option to open the page in another browser. This comes in handy when I run out of "views" on some news sites (could also just block cookies I suppose). > Why not have 20 different ways to -quickly- search for something ? ! Well, I do not have 20 but I do have quite a few, as I have shown you. :) Seriously, if you want to see how I do searching I can show you that. > WikiQuotes, Dictionary.COM, YouTube, Images, MicroSoft, WikiPedia, etc. ? ! I have a "Look Up Service" that gives me much of that and more, including maps and music and videos (mostly YouTube but it will also look at others) -- and all context sensitive (only showing maps when I select an address or famous landmark or the like). I have other services to specifically go to Google, Urban Dictionary, Thesaurus.com, OneLook.com, Google Translate, Google Define, Dictionary.com, Usenet Message by ID, etc. I can make a video to show you at some point. Right now running back and forth from here, to making a flan-like dessert, to working on a home project (making shelves and the like for above the bed I think I mentioned before). -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
