A complete waste of time

AskSam, which makes databases and Internet searching tools, has come out with Ms Dewey,
a 'fully animated flash-based interface for Microsoft's Windows Live Search'. It's basically eye candy--a beautiful 'futuristic librarian of sorts who constantly prompts you to the enter the right search, quickly grows impatient if you spend time on the site without searching and even gives humorous comments about your searches'.

And it's annoying as hell.

What were they thinking? Is this what happens when testosterone-laden programmers have nothing better to do?
