Submission + - Googles MarissaMayer Deletes Sensitive Apple Tweet (techcrunch.com)
suraj.sun writes: Google's Marissa Mayer Deletes Sensitive Apple Tweet
Marissa Mayer, the Vice President of Search Product and User Experience at Google, deletes a Tweet in which she linked a satirical article on BBspot ( http://www.bbspot.com/News/2009/07/google-removes-apple.html ) about the whole Google Voice iPhone app removal brouhaha ( http://apple.slashdot.org/story/09/07/28/1839241/Apple-Kills-Google-Voice-Apps-On-the-iPhone ; http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/27/apple-is-growing-rotten-to-the-core-and-its-likely-atts-fault/ ), titled "Google Pulls Apple from Search Results".
In it, an author of the comedy news site writes that Google has removed all search results leading to Apple.com from its index, and redirecting searches for "iPhone" and "app store" to the IMDb.com page for Payback.
Mayer gets quoted a couple of times in the piece as well:
Google's official explanation for removing Apple from its search results came from Vice-President in charge of search, Marissa Mayer, "Those search results duplicate a lot of the functionality of other sites. For example, people can find cell phones on many other sites. We just think this makes it easier for our users."
Pretty funny for much everyone, but for such a key Google employee to link to that article could be a bit offensive to some (both inside Google and Apple), hence the removal, probably.

Intelligent extra terrestrial life inside the solar system is unlikely, however, it is quite possible that microbial life might be on Mars or Europa.
