Nope, Google is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.


Why do people keep harping on this inferior technology? The buzzword
that makes the dictionary is supposed to be Yahoo, not Google! You
don't "Google" something, you "Yahoo" it! People! Get your icons
straight!

Google sucks as a search engine and has always been run around circles
by Yahoo. The only good use for Google is its USENET archive.


I don't think Google has improved dejanews at all. As a search engine,
Google is pretty good, although dependent on the skill of the person
forming the query and it is sensitive to deliberate attempts to fool
it.

Google Earth is kind of cool. Froogle is pretty useless so far, and
Desktop search is only of limited use due to a stupid limitation on
the total number of files indexed.
