In the uk Google dominates 75% of the search engine market! But what about the other engines?
There is nothing really to prove that google has any better results than search engines like Ask but it seems using the convenient google toolbar has become a very habitual thing. This may be due to its easy uncluttered homepage and its downloadable toolbars and services such as Gmail and GoogleEarth.
Many people seem to think they have typed something wrong into google if they cant get the results they want, it doesnt occur to them that maybe this major search engine doesnt have the information they need. A resolution to this problem is the idea of 'meta-search'. this is a search engine that compiles its results from several different search engines.

High Definition DVD players are here but have they arrived to late??
HD TV's and DVD's give you great picture quality but many people seem more interested in being able to access media from their iPods and computers, these have much poorer quality.
Many people would much rather download clips off the internet than pay for a cinema ticket and see a decent quality film at the cinems. They would also rather have the clips on their iPod's which they can carry around rather than having them on a high quality tv.
There is evidence, that given the choice between picture quality and convenience an increasing number of consumers will choose convenience.
