Why do Arabs hate Google?
When you start typing something into Google to search, it gives you suggestions for how you might want to finish your search. The suggestions are based upon what most people search. When you type in "Why do Arabs" you get some interesting suggestions, as Baron Bodissey discovered when he tried it (see the list at left - I tried it and got the same suggestions).Well, the Arabs are quite upset about this. In fact - surprise - they're seething. And they're going to demand that Google 'fix' it.
Read the whole thing (and this isn't even a Purim post - it's based on an Arab News column from last Wednesday).
Heh.

Carl in Jerusalem -
Try googling
Why do Jews . . .
and
Why do lawyers . . .
Maybe it's because the Google Suggest feature was developed at Google's research center in Israel.
Why are Arabs so... is even worse!
The suggestions are not so outlandish
