I guess I'm missing something. How exactly is having a gTLD going to bring in
the Big Bucks? Do people actually type addresses into the address bars on
their browsers any more, or do they just type what they're looking for into
the search bar?

Not even using a search bar anymore. Some browsers do a search
whilst you are writing the hostname that you want to access. So for
facebook I just normally type "fac", twitter "twi" and it autocompletes.
For Google and wikipedia I do not even try to go to their web page. For
a search (google) I just type what I am looking for and that is all, for
wikipedia I do the same and 95% of the times the first search result is
the link to them.
