Well the Radiohead concert kind of blew anyways, it was way oversold and I was 500 feet back. And some guy was standing right in front of me so I couldn't see. So that made the decision a lot easier. Love your buddhist saying :D

It will be very interesting to see how the Digg community takes this (if true). I think it will be a smooth transition, people don't view Google as evil (yet).
