As amazing as it is.. one of the most powerful search engines. Amongst most industries, i think the software industry would be hit most seriously if Google didnt exist.
But even Google has its share of odd bugs. The one bug that recently came to my notice was this:
If you type "she invented" and hit search, Google gets back to you saying "Did you mean: he invented ".
Now why on earth would google think that i meant "he invented"??? I know what i typed!!! just gimme search results for what i asked for.
But nooooooo.. even a a damn search engine has to be a chauvinist.
P.S: Work load is less :D Therefore, the research on Google.

Rashmi & Swetha :
ur damn right!! i have spent the last half hour trying all combinations and the outcome is hilarious. :D
Google :
First of all...This is really eerie!!
Secondly..that article does not help the embarassment google is facing. The mass population using Google does not care about words like "Algorithm" or "aggregated user input".. we care about end result! Functionality and not Technicality.
Anyways.. For the time being, Google remains as the most preferred search engine..even amongst feminists :P

is that Google/Dave again?
and are we still on the same chapter? ;-)
Anyways, its a technical screw up that Google will clear up.. or not!
Either ways.. It makes no significant difference to anyone.
I agree.. that when u first see it.. ur first reaction will be "How dare you?".. then.. "chauvinist/sexist".. then 10 minutes later.."Wonder if the coffee machine is fixed.." or something random like that.
Bottomline is that u forget about it!!
