Unsubstantiated rumors have been trickling across the internet, suggesting that Apple may introduce its own search engine. Bloggers point to Safari's market share and the popularity of mobile searches from the iPhone as factors backing up the idea. The consensus at large seems to be that there's no way Apple's making the time and resource investment to compete with the well-established search giants. What do you think? Considering its knack for reinventing the wheel, would Apple have a shot at working its way into the search engine game?
