(Today) for a brief moment in time, the all knowing oracle of the Internet when blind. Unable to see, humanity was lost, and the knowledge of a thousand blogs vanished. Even Wikipedia, master of alot of human knowledge was no longer a click away. Mankind was reduced to to "Copy and paste" web address. Some in desperate times turned to heretics seers such as yahoo. Damning their eyes to a cluttered interface. It was a dark time... an age of lost people.

But darkness, even one so absolute, does not last forever. The oracle of the Internet returned. But that is another story.

Hmm.... I wonder what happened? Did somebody change the security setting at Google?

The trainees took over the controls? Or a large real-time experiment with the users?

Anyway one reason more to avoid the google-kraken :P , there are alternatives (at least for most of the services) :)
