6. Google is resisting the feds
It's nice to know that the guys over at Google aren't just kowtowing to BushCo.

7. Whatever. Good PR
When they hired that neocon stooge as their communications guy, I quit Google.

4. Looks like it's text only.

5. All the time
It was one recommended by a prof when I was in library school. It's results algorithms organize items in a different and usually more useful way. Plus, if memory serves correctly, they're very clear about sponsored links and who is paying to get higher up on the results list.
