What if all the major newspaper block Google. And suddenly ...
1. All us Google users realized that we can survive without those newspaper, and can find news sources elsewhere ... OR
2. One of the newspaper play dirty and license their news to a 'subsidiary' that does not block Google ... OR
3. Alternative news source sprung up .. wiki-type news, etc. That become mainstream.
If any of these happened, suddenly the newspaper will find themselves on a deadly path with no return. The whole business could be lost.
I think that's why they are still talking and not actually blocking Google already.

Riding with Robots writes "New images of Saturn from the robotic spacecraft Cassini are shedding new light on monstrous storms that swirl at both poles of the ringed planet. 'These are truly massive cyclones, hundreds of times stronger than the most giant hurricanes on Earth,' said one mission scientist. Cumulus clouds twirl around the vortices, betraying the presence of giant thunderstorms lurking beneath. But the storms do not disturb the bizarre hexagonal cloud formation previously reported."
