    Cars will still crash. Machine is running a simulation - not reality. Did you see the car in the U.K. that jumped a roundabout berm and wound up embedded in the first-floor up from ground?

    When all you have is a hammer...

    GPL was created outside the idea of a "market", and its original focus was on individuals, and there right to code as a form of "libre" speech and expression - not as a product made by partnerships, proprietorships or corporations.

    All Bullshit.

    It means that CBS News and MSNBC get a heavy "trust" rating, while Juan Cole, tomflocco.com or Scoop.nz get "Le Shafte".

    More coprorate sponsored media is not why I click. This is Google being used to "mainstream" the Internet as an information source - which is now a loose cannon in the world of controlled messages. Millions, just hearing about "'blogs on the Innernets" for the first time will now be safely served "more of the same" - while having alternative messages and analysis spun away with "low-trust".

    Don't Be Evil, my ass.
    You want the real truth on "trustworthy" news sources from Google? Search for "The Mighty Wurlitzer"+CIA or "Project Mockingbird".
