I'll play along :-)

Can you get 10,000 results from  Google? I don't think they'll let you. I'd
imagine result set segmentation is an essential part of any non-brain-dead
server app design. In any case how does this break the 'one-page' rule? You
don't need to change the page to see result set chunks, if you really didn't
want to.

Again, look at Watson: Version Tracker, TV Guide, Meerkat, Stocks, Images,
Reference, Movies, Packages, Phone, Recipes, Zip Codes, Yahoo, Flights,
Translation, Exchange, eBay -- all in one page/window. That ought to end any
discussion of if 'everything' can fit into one page :-)

Yes, I'm well aware of the nuance here, but this 'rule' is pretty darn close
to the 'absolute truth,' as I see it :-)

Best,
