So many products, so much change, so little time -- Java's jolt can be overwhelming.

According to research being conducted by the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, humans seek info on the Net with the same food-gathering techniques employed by animals -- by following the scent. But we're not talking "smell" here. The research scientists use the term "information scent" when describing cues - like images and hyperlinks -- that people use to decide which paths to follow in their Internet searches.
