Seems like the uber-nerds at Google are up to some new shenanigans. Their latest target in their “don’t be too evil” global campaign is destroying copyright and censorship on their public policy blog.  I say go for it.  They have the money to shake things up, instead of buying totally useless companies (viz. Dodgeball, wtf?!?).  Let’s hope they do stir things up a little bit.  Meanwhile they are taking pictures of us in our underwear and putting them on the Internet.  Timely, especially since they are on this anti-IP/censorship kick.  Look, if they want to put pictures of me in my y-fronts online, god bless ‘em.

I was just listening to a google talk entitled “from text to meaning” and they mentioned to using the string “helicopter Cincinnati” to eliminate bad query data.  Any ideas why?
