“Google has sped up its internet search engine by launching a product called Instant that displays results as soon as users type in queries. The service predicts a user's query and modifies the displayed results as more letters are typed into the search box. The company described it as ‘search at the speed of thought’. Previously Google's suggested search terms did not reveal results until the ‘enter’ key. Google Instant goes live in the next week and on mobile devices by autumn. The service will initially be rolled out in the US, UK, Spain, Germany, France and Russia.”

“AS BUSINESS bounces back, essential funding remains elusive. The recent upheaval has left banks unified in their conservative views on approving business loans. Venture capital funds are also constrained in funding businesses, stifled by an inability to secure vital wholesale debt facilities.
This leaves businesses that are seeking growth capital in search of an angel. Not the imaginary type but the investing kind, though they have been almost as hard to find in recent years.
Angel investors are typically high net worth individuals who have successfully been in business for themselves, giving entrepreneurial experience and management credibility to spot and profit from investment opportunities in other businesses.”
