I call shenanigans! Give us some specific examples of searches that are 99% spam.
Not to be hypocritical, here are some searches that I believe are way the hell less than 99% spam:
But people are generally a lot less concerned about blocking Google ads, because they're Not Evil. Google knows this, and will make a strong effort to keep it that way.
The single-sided disks were cheaper because they didn't quality-check the second side, and so you would occasionally run into one where the second side was indeed unusable. But you knew that, right?
...where there are or have been conflicting views, these should be presented fairly, but not asserted.
Debates are described, represented, and characterized, but not engaged in. Background is provided on who believes what and why, and which view is more popular. Detailed articles might also contain the mutual evaluations of each viewpoint, but studiously refrain from stating which is better.
...assert facts, including facts about opinions - but don't assert opinions themselves.
...rather than asserting, "The Beatles were the greatest band", we can say, "Most Americans believe that the Beatles were the greatest band," which is a fact verifiable by survey results, or "The Beatles had many songs that made the Billboard Hot 100," which is also fact.
That's all well and good, but then why bother to mention "$10K for the Exciting Home Version" in TFA? Particularly while failing to point out how much less cost-effective it is for homes.
I would consider this as grounds for removing the "n00b" label, hence I stand by my previous statement. Or, put another away, n00bs think it's confusing enough that they'd rather pay $20/year than even try to figure it out.
Because then they'd get hit with the "monopoly" label even worse than they already do. I don't believe the same is true of any of the industries in which Microsoft and Sony compete.

Considering how it slams Parexel first and medical testing volunteers second? Not likely by Parexel IMO.

Congratulations, you've just invented Java. :)
Whoops, shoulda previewed...
1 buttload < 1 metric assload < 1 assload
10,000 buttloads = 1,000 assloads = 100 craploads = 10 shitloads = 1 fuckload (syn. fuckton)
1 shitload ~= 743 lbs, or 1-4 tons, depending on who you ask
1 buttload

Ayep.
Which is weird, because they do apparently offer source.
Well, yes and no:

No.
That appears to be an innocuous "download Firefox with Google Toolbar" site. Perhaps you meant the typosquatter parked next door?
That seems to be dead. Ironically, it has a typosquatter parked next door as well.
You mean like this?

I'm glad that someone noticed and bothered to point it out. A whole mess o' people must be new here, eh?
"gambling" is also an interesting twist on the ol' boilerplate.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned water-powered computers yet!
The biggest step in that direction that I'm aware of is GoboLinux.
