Let's put this headline in perspective: they've not ordered a series, they've ordered a pilot only; and this isn't even the first time they've done that -- they made a pilot back in 2007 (clearly, it didn't go well). So this is less a case of "we'll see" more "will we see?"
Google Instant is trying to kill me by Charlie Brooker

Brooker, as usual, has a point, and he makes it amusingly. Hurrah! This is my favourite bit:
[Google Instant is] the internet on fast-forward, and it's aggressive – like trying to order from a waiter who keeps finishing your sentences while ramming spoonfuls of what he thinks you want directly into your mouth, so you can't even enjoy your blancmange without chewing a gobful of black pudding first.

"I can see where it's heading: a service called Google Assault that doesn't even bother to guess what you want, and simply hurls random words and sounds and images at you until you dribble all the fluid out of your body."
