Senh: Everyone copies from everyone. This time, Google copies Bing. Having a background image on a search engine started with Ask - at least when I first saw it being implemented. Although I have to say, design-wise, Bing and Ask looks more coordinated. Google's looks kinda tagged on.
Senh: Whoah, before tablets running on Android even came out, it's already leading the industry? Sure, I think it will eventually because it's free, and a lot of manufacturers will use, but giving them the lead before any of the tablets have even came out is a bit premature. Right now, Apple's iPad is the leader. Microsoft has a point though. If they come out with a decent tablet computer running Windows 7, I too would prefer that over the iPad or any Android-powered device. Just being able to run any Windows software on it is a major plus.
