Some minor google annoyances.

Or not so minor.

1) Google Instant has got to be one of the most annoying and pointless features yet. I mean, is there ever any need to have results come up with every keystroke? All it does is slow things down. I've turned it off, but every so often when I have to reset my computer, it turns itself back on. I mean it's not a horrible inconvieniance, but it is annoying.

2) Needing a google account to get on youtube. Now this is really annoying. They basically make you get a new account even if you already have a youtube account. I had to reconfigure my SN just for google. That also meant I had to change my password because apparently my previous password wasn't long enough (that's another thing I hate, specific requirements just for passwords. As long as it's good enough for me, it should be accepted).

I actually like it. It does not slow anything down for me. It is better for me with that.

I was actually able to keep the same username. My wife was able to also. Not sure how we were able to do that. as that was a while back
