Back in 2001, Eric asked for a brainstorm of a few “splashy” ideas in search. A designer and product manager at the time, I made a few mockups — one of which was for ‘universal search.’ It was a sample search results page for Britney Spears that, in addition to web results, also had news, images, and groups results right on the same page. Even then, we could see that people could easily become overwhelmed with the number of different search tools available on Google — let alone those that would be created over the next few years.

Model Kate Moss adjusts her teeny tiny swimsuit as she gets down to the business of work on a photo shoot in the Caribbean.The 33-year-old model left her boyfriend Pete Doherty, 29, at home when she flew to St Barts earlier this week for a series of assignments.

Kate was seen lying seductively in the sand for the modelling assignment, with beach blonde hair, and a revealing black costume.

It was clearly a day to get down to business, in contrast with pictures of her yesterday which showed her having a nice cup of a tea and a few fags, while relaxing on a sun-lounger.

An onlooker said: “Kate was relaxing on her own. She was sunbathing topless and looked totally chilled as she smoked many cigarettes.”

Her career, now fully recovered from the cocaine scandal of 2005, is set to get a further boost as her first collection is due to hit the shelves of Top Shop soon.
