    Uh, Google can do whatever they want to manipulate their own search engine. It's, like, one of the perks of private ownership. Y'know, this capitalism thing and all that. Doh!

    Guess all I can say is that Google has earned a little bit of breathing room.

    Wake me up when there is something worth looking at, this is just silly.
