Re: Default seach engine? Is this for 2-year olds?

Google does these deals even with web browser programmers- that's why Mozilla Firefox comes with Google as the default search engine. I guess this kind of deal falls into a similar category- you can use yahoo.com, but Google is hoping that you'll just fall into the path of least resistance

Ok, this is 2008, and we've only matured to the point where an entire mobile carrier has to have a default search engine? What does this even mean? Can't one simply browse to yahoo.com or some other such search engine?
