For example, right-click the field on dictionary.com and declare that "d foo" in the address bar will look up "foo" using that form from now on.
It's not quite as easy as right clicking the search box in Chrome, but you can still do it by right clicking the address bar and going to Edit search engines. You can manually add named searches there. After the first time you search on certain sites, it will automatically add them as named searches (I noticed this with Amazon, eBay and Wikipedia--you'll see them show up in the Edit search engines area).

That would be a better strategy if they advertised it well. It would give users a strong incentive to vote on articles.

yes, they are too cheap, especially when they can find something else for free. People nowadays think that they're always entitled to digital things for free for some reason.

The tagging makes it the best. The whole low-resolution thing makes artistic photos not work out too well, but for pictures containing people, Facebook really is the best. Especially if you're in college, in which case nearly everyone has a fb account.

I'll go with anything written by Vonnegut. Feynman books too.

I'm glad to see this project working out. I saw Negroponte give a presentation about the OLPC at UCLA a year ago, and it was amazing how genuinely enthusiastic he was about it.
