Subject: Google Billion Dollar Line of Javascript

With a single line of Javascript, Google takes in close to
a billion dollars worth of revenue:

Now here’s an idea for Google that all the Big Brother
conspirationists wont like (hopefully Google will take 3 or 4
years to do it, like some of my other suggestions): Google should
take Firefox and create its own version where the address bar
would be replaced by the Google searchbox. No more need to type
www.amazon.com, you’d just type “amazon” and get the “I’m feeling
lucky” result (the number 1 search result) or the 10 results
search list.
Instant takeover of IANA and the DNS system and immediate
revenue by selling this new addressing system (ie. keywords).
Immediate destruction of domain registers, domain squatters
and other similar parasites and instant redirection of “microsoft”,
“microsoft.com” or similar addresses/searches to linux.com, gnu.org
or whatever your favorite faction website is.
It has been tried before and failed. But before Microsoft and
MSN were involved, a sure sign for failure.
The world has changed in the last 5 years…
