It's essential to have some help from the outside during your IT admin vacation
A well thought out idea like this is exactly what it admins avoid, unfortunately.

1) Google employee makes sure some fake word does not exist in google or bing search results. 2) Said employee points google's cache results of that word to some random page. 3) Said employee uses Internet Explorer at his desk at Google to make the search appear in Google, then selects the only link as the correct thing he was looking for and Bing somehow acquires this information. 4) Search now appears in Bing.
Isn't this the exact process Google implements when a user searches with Chrome to determine the most relevant results? So in essence IE behavior now mimics another browsers behavior? Doesn't even sound moderately intriguing.

Interesting to see Verizon, Time Warner and Comcast all in the top five. It seemed certain there would be at least one throttling between those three. We've had our Netflix on the first two and never had a problem (yet).

Submission + - X Particle Might Explain Dark Matter & Antimat (wired.com) 1
cold fjord writes: Wired Science has a story on a new theory that tries to explain dark matter, and the balance of regular matter with antimatter. This theory may even be testable.
A new hypothetical particle could solve two cosmic mysteries at once: what dark matter is made of, and why there's enough matter for us to exist at all.
...Together with physicists Hooman Davoudiasl at Brookhaven National Lab and David Morrissey of TRIUMF, Tulin and Sigurdson suggest a way to solve the problem of missing antimatter: Hide it away as dark matter. The details are published in the Nov. 19 Physical Review Letters.
