Yahoo image search

Did a experiment in using the yahoo image search for my app, but it's very raw, yet, since :
1) It only allows filtering by size on the end of the the search,
2) My image list (bellow) is only prepared for one request at a time, not buffered requests.
3) additional search parameters like the selective "cover" just appear to make the search fail. Google image search behaves better, but has a API that only allows javascript (what is - everything - a fucking web app now?) and uses the developer key ( instead of ip) for the limits, and that is monumentally useless for a non-web app.

Besides it returns negatives left and right. There are other, more selective webservices like Library Thing but they also have a one developer key 1000 requests thing going. Pure stupidity. A developer makes an app, users don't use the same app (except in server applications).

Screw the cloud.

Also need a way to cancel asynchronous computations. The ChainRunnable interface already allows that, but when to invoke is the question.
