It's All Bad

From the Washington Post, and/or everyone else on a slow news weekend:

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 31 -- Computer users doing Google searches during a nearly one-hour period Saturday were greeted with disturbing but erroneous messages that every site turned up in the results might be harmful.
The company blamed the mistake on human error and apologized for any inconvenience caused to users and site owners whose pages were incorrectly labeled.
The glitch occurred between 9:30 a.m. and 10:25 a.m. EST, Google said in an explanation on
its company blog. Anyone who did a Google search during that time probably saw the message "This site may harm your computer" accompanying every search result, the company said.

It would be much more comforting if Google never made mistakes but you can't ahve everything.

It looks to me as though Federer at his best can no longer beat Nadal at his best, all other things being equal. Luckily for fans who don't want any match to be a fait accompli, there is weather, fatigue, court surface and a host of other variables to get in the way. And the fact that I don't know anything about tennis.

There is also the fact of which needs to be considered, if you think about it. The things that are the difference makers, or indifference makers, as we watch, with our eyes, or not, a partial blip as so goes the ball. To the stands, and then they point the cameras at the crowd and the crowd looks crowded and moist. Lastly, more hot chicks.
