Youtube, which is owned by Google, spends millions of dollars on development but somehow failed to see that Google's Instant software could be applied to Youtube. Apparently the software caught the attention of Youtube CEO Chad Hurley and, rather than issue the normal cease and desist, which is common in stories like this, he offered Aboukhadijeh a job.”-TheInquirer Luckily Feross Aboukhadijeh created the search engine which will find and play the video you're looking for as you type. From the sounds of this article, this is youtube finding innovative minds and rewarding them with jobs. added by: Mcellie
