Hahaaa, my browsing habits are on a need to know basis and I'm guessing this will need sync with a GMail account for it to work (like they do on the Samsung Galaxy S to download apps, use calendar, etc). No way am I going to willingly give a search engine marketing company any more of my browsing habits and personal info that what they already have (same reason I have auto sync on my phone turned OFF and get notified any time my phone wants to sync).

If Microsoft had enough nouse to come up the same idea I'd be telling them where to shove it, too!

John, 

Do you know how these clips are to be affixed to the side of the sewer(s)? As H 2 S and other "friends" like to eat anything and everything, it'd be interesting to know how they able to prevent the conduit from falling off the roof of the pipe and into the black / grey water.

These little plastic clips are a key part of putting fibre in sewers. 

The "pig" that travels through the sewer installing the blown fibre cable (2nd pic) anchors them to the top of the sewer with the plastic clips. They moved to plastic clips after discovering that even stainless steel corrodes inside sewers. 

Cheers,
