And you believe that the results returned by Google are in
some way accurate and reflect anything other than typical
Google gibberish? I should show you the results of some of
(tech related) searches I have done.  If it weren't for the
fact that I usually need the information at the time it
would be downright funny.

Afraid I really place no value on whatever his concept called
"trending" is.  I get notices in things all the time about
what is "trending" in the world and it is usually nothing of
value or interest to me.
