Google will be rolling out starting today search results that update while you type, “Google Instant”, a feature which they had tested in the wild. The results stream to you, taking what you’ve typed so far as a cue.

According to Google, the feature consists of three gears:

*Instant Results — Google Results now dynamically change as you type, typing in a “w” will get you a 5-day forecast in San Francisco, instantly.

*Predictions — The search attempts to predict exactly what you want, showing the results that it thinks you want in grey text, allowing you to chose.

*Scroll To Search — Using the down arrow key will let you scroll through each of the suggestions, and the results page will update as you go along.

The search button, which users now will be pressing less often, will now take over the function of showing results for the EXACT query.

You can see “Google Instant” in action above.

Stay tuned for updates.

In part three of our Super Angel v. VC SMACKDOWN Dave McClure says “I am all about the flip. GREED IS GOOD. I am Gordon Gekko in Silicon Valley.” But is he? Wouldn’t greed be going after the big win not the tiny flip?

In this clip we come to one of the core distinctions between Super Angels and VCs: Are sub-$50 million exits the desired goal in Silicon Valley or are small acquisitions what you settle for when your company doesn’t hit it big?

McClure argues that small flips are more sustainable for the Valley, despite the fact that small flips don’t create the next Googles and Facebooks to acquire future generations of Super Angels’ companies. McClure says he’s counting on non-technology companies to start buying hundreds of technology companies, but do entrepreneurs want to sell to someone even stodgier than a Microsoft or a Yahoo?

David Hornik counters that Sand Hill Road is about changing the world and that’s the business he wants to be in. (For the record, that’s the business I moved to Silicon Valley ten years ago to cover.)

For part one of our series, “Why the Hate?” go here; for part two “Are Super Angels Just a Phase?” go here. And to catch the live debate at Orrick’s offices this Friday go here.

Yes, OKCupid’s data confirms our suspicions, iPhone users do “do it” more, at a rate of about 2x that of Android users. Perhaps this is because the Android has an easily accessible porn app store?

Presumably iPhone users are better at getting their kicks in real life. But the chart still leaves the greatest question of our time unanswered, “Do attractive people buy more iPhones, or does the iPhone somehow make you more attractive?” In any case, maybe it’s time some of us reconsidered our gadget predilections.

Get more “facts” about the iPhone as aphrodisiac here.

These new smart parking meters about to be tested in San Francisco automatically adjust the price you’re going to pay for your space depending on how many spots are already filled. Thanks to supply and demand you will pay anywhere from .25 cents to $6 an hour to park – expect to multiply that by 2 if these come to New York.

For those who don’t know, there’s a movie about Facebook and one of its co-founders, Mark Zuckerberg. Though we wish the title — “The Social Network” — was a lot more clever, it’s very apparent to anyone who has ever confirmed or made a friend request what director David Fincher is talking about in his latest film.

Based on the Ben Mezrich book, The Accidental Billionaire: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sexy, Money, Genius and Betrayal, “The Social Network” stars Jesse Eisenberg (whose star is fast rising in Hollywood) as Zuckerberg as well as Justin Timberlake, who plays Napster founder, Sean Parker. Though the teaser trailer doesn’t have any shots from the film, it does feature snappy dialogue from the film. Even without knowing anything else than what we’re shown, we’re going to safely say this movie is a must-see. Update statutes accordingly.

The death of television and the advent of online-only programming has been upon us every week going back at least as far as the first Hulu stream, and perhaps much further depending on which rumor-monger blogs you subscribe to. But a rumor hit the Web today that, if true, has the potential to tip the scales toward a Web-delivered TV future faster than many might imagine: According to the AllThingsD, Apple is pitching a $30 subscription package to networks that would deliver TV over the Web to customers via iTunes, and it wants to get it up and running by early next year.

In Apple’s vision, networks would climb aboard the iTunes delivery system, offering their programming via Apple’s multimedia service, which Apple would deliver to iTunes users for $30 per month. Certainly some kind of revenue sharing deal would be involved, and networks could still monetize via advertising within their shows. Further appealing to customers and networks alike, Apple isn’t tying the service to a piece of hardware like its unimpressive Apple TV box, which would require customers to make an additional investment. Rather, by streaming the service through iTunes, Apple offers the networks a built-in base of 100 million accounts that already use the software, while turning any computer or handheld device sporting iTunes into a potential means of consumption.

The real question for Apple is this: will any of the networks actually get on board? Peter Kafka over at AllThingsD thinks if anyone jumps first, it will be Disney, since CEO Bob Iger has been open to jumping in bed with Apple in the past. That first big client will likely be the hardest one, so if Disney pulls the trigger, other media giants might be forced to follow suit.

But there are other complications. Cable companies have everything to lose by allowing such an arrangement, and will likely fight tooth and nail to remain the dominant medium for programming delivery. Cable networks have profitable relationships with those cable providers that they will be loath to jeopardize, and networks themselves will be troubled by the idea that offering programming via iTunes on a subscription basis–even if the shows don’t hit the service until after they’ve aired on traditional television–will cannibalize their own ratings, driving down ad rates.

But unlike failed attempts to bring television to consumers via the Web, Apple is no startup, and its ability to deliver customers may win out. The movement is already underway, with other large companies paving the way for Apple: Netflix bundles a streaming movie service with its mail subscription DVD service, Blockbuster, Amazon and iTunes already rent movies over the Web and Google is stepping into the fray by offering films through YouTube. Then there’s television’s own success story in Hulu, a joint-venture between three leading networks (NBC, ABC and Fox) to stream their content, with limited but mandatory advertising, over the Web.

Then there’s the delivery side of things; Apple has a lock on what are arguably two of the best mobile media delivery devices in the iPhone and iPod Touch, and should the much-ballyhooed Tablet come roaring onto the scene next year as rumored, Apple might have the best portable device for watching video media tied directly to iTunes. If the networks are willing to give Apple a chance, it might just be able to meet the converging demands of increased portability and on-demand choice right in the middle. Apple completely shook up the music business when it introduced iTunes; the potential is there for it to do the same to television.
