Reid characterized the mistakes that won attention as the result of an internet-wide audit that wasn’t always well intended.

Oh yeah, there was a conspiracy to embarrass Google with off-the-wall questions like “how do I thicken pizza sauce?”

Why are these corporate schmucks unable to take any blame?

If Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you’d only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can’t have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.
