"He added that there had been a worldwide shortage of disk drives that had hurt Nintendo as well as makers of many other devices."
Where are these Wii's with disk drives? I want one! Last I checked, they not only don't have any, but Nintendo has gone so far as to say that they never will.
Or maybe the same manipulative people who's actions you're trying to defeat thru the proposed Google modding *might* just 'mod' their own web sites up with said Google modding system. It opens up a whole new can of worms for people to abuse the ranking system.
I could just see the next wave of worm infections which infect systems then open up http requests to Google in a distributed assault to perform searches then mod down the competitors and/or mod up the sites of people manipulating Google search results. This way it would appear to Google as though myriads of unique visitors are each independantly modding / ranking these search query results.
I'm not trying to stomp on your idea -- it is a nice idea -- but it has some major exploitation opportunities unless there are appropriate mechanisms put in place to thwart such evil devise.
This comparison was done very well but it should be noted that there is a far more comprehensive and dynamic CMS / blog / portal application comparison chart at the CMS Matrix site.
You can also submit new software feature reviews and rate the software which is already there.;)

Perhaps he meant to say "disc drives".
I'll reference this well written article Apple has provided regarding the difference between the words "disk" and "disc":
