Cracking the Google Code... Under the GoogleScope

In addition to evaluating and scoring web page content, the ranking of web pages are admittedly still influenced by the frequency of page or site updates. What's new and interesting is what Google takes into account in determining the freshness of a web page.""

    Sorry to respond to myself (and off topic, too... goodbye, karma!) but I just thought the comparison was interesting.

    The minimum number of tigers in 1993 was 4400 and the maximum was 7700 where as in 2000/2001the minimum was 5700 and the maximum was 7000.

    From: http://www.globaltiger.org/population.htm

    I can't find any stats for installations of Tiger, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there were more than 5700 copies out there.

    So the operating system called Tiger might be more prevalent than actual Tigers are. That would be something, wouldn't it?
