Not to get too technical, but this is one tip of a very large iceburg that has been moving in on the Web for a little while now. Google [AJAX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX) and marvel at everything you can do with some JavaScript and some XML.

Gmail and Google Maps are the two most visible examples of this right now, but who knows what Google will roll out in the not-too-distant future? ---
