- dasch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Judging by Google's history of "leaks", I'd say this is just another clever way to create hype. They've clearly shown that rumours excites the media more and for a longer period of time than flashy press conferences do.

- noelsusman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I was about to say the exact same thing. Leaks always create hype. They don't want to end up like the PS3 where nobody even knows if they're even still working on it or not. Now all these crazy rumors are flying around about the PS3 and Sony hasn't said a single word about it. Google is basically just letting everybody know what they are working on so no crazy rumors fly around.
Either that or they keep releasing stuff and then say it was an accident when everybody complains about how it is total crap. - natch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Compared to most companies, Google has done an extremely good job controlling leaks.
Take for example the powerpoint that contained some notes they didn't want to get out recently. By the time that story hit slashdot and digg, they had scoured the internet and removed that file from pretty much everywhere. Today you can't find a copy anywhere, not even on bittorrent. - plnegative1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How can you "accidently" put stuff on the internet? They're just trying to start hype
- TAGG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The biggest secret of Google - they have no any realy profitable products others that AdSense.
And they keep this secret by making a lot of leaks like this one.
A lot of insiders have to wait at least one year after IPO to cash out their options.
They will do everything possible for this. Including "leaking" product plans.
Remember - product plan is only a plan - not a real product. - EntrepreNerd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"Now the Web search giant has partially lost a case it was trying very hard to win." - From the Article
Partially Lost? I would say fully won the case! Google won as did we the users. Sadly this is not the case for those who still use MSN, AOL, and Yahoo for their searches, but it should be interesting to see what these companies decide to do the next time this sort of thing lands on their door step. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1honesty and 'leaks' are a litte different
- superset, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3What makes you think that Google doesn't want these "secrets" to be leaked? Intimidation my bitches.
- supersan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1i know about pagerank but that is not that i meant because that is not the whole algo, is it? there search algo is a lot more than that, a secret that makes them #1 over everybody else...
- Niteryder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I think Google can keep a secret if the user community backs it and says no to the DOJ and the FTC about where we search for information or what we look at and it is the parents responsibilty to train their children about internet surfing and not some religious group making assertions that children look at porn.
It is astonshing when you realize the best experts on internet connectivity can't even get accurate ping statistics, that these people with their fraudulent claims can make any assertions at all.
It is not the governments business what informaition anyone seeks, that is a private affair for ones own intellectual pursuit's and it the government is not a champion of privacy, according to them we are all guilty before charged. - supersan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2the biggest secret is the algo behind the search engine.. as long as they don't leak that, i'm sure they're safe :)
- thewhitefedora, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Google always makes it to the front page on digg
