John C. Worsley writes: "Google announced today a modification to their search algorithm that minimizes well-known googlebombing exploits. Searches on "miserable failure" and their ilk apparently no longer bring up political targets. From the article:

"By improving our analysis of the link structure of the web, Google has begun minimizing the impact of many Googlebombs. Now we will typically return commentary, discussions, and articles about the Googlebombs instead.""

lucianx writes: Nonplussed by Pluto's recent downgrade from Planet Status, Fox News's own John Gibson does an incredible Stephen Colbert impersonation to correct the "revisionist history" of "some mysterious person who answers to no one" in re-classifying the celestial body.

"Actually I don't know why Pluto got itself unmade as a planet. I didn't even read the rest of the story, frankly."
