I am listening to 'All good things come to an end' by Nelly Furtado as I write this blog post. No, not planned. It just happened to play randomly on my playlist - timely for this post.

Hi folks, we just propped a simple change we think you might like. A lot of you have been sending us feedback about how the search box steals your cursor away when the page loads. We hear you, and we hate this too! We've updated the code so that we no longer steal your focus. If you want to type a search query, you can just start typing anywhere on the page and we'll automatically put the focus in the search box - no need to click in the search box (thanks to our friends on the msn.com team for this one). Hope you like it!
