  16. Re:There's no solution on Texas Opens Inquiry Into Google Search Rankings · · Score: 0

    I don't think Google is that great either - I cannot filter out all "add your own review" from the various sites.

    Uh, how about entering:

    If you had actually bothered to look at the gallery you'd see that it really looks nothing like WMP

    Yeah failed marketing since they didn't capture my interest (and actively repelled me) in the first few seconds :)
