Google launches "real time search," and it SOUNDS like mystical magical ferry dust

The technology is nice, but I'm most interested in the soundtrack. Google makes real time search sound like a mystical adventure involving lots of running through neighborhoods or even entire worlds. In fact, it's more like a point-of-view camera tracking the flight of a bird. Oh, and I can envision lots of sparkly crap and near collisions.

What's missing is the inevitable dark section where the music slips into a minor chord (think villain during Inspector Gadget theme song).

In conclusion, Google is magic.
