Unquestioned Google-love is the new Linux-love: Google Blatantly Copies Yahoo!? (by Jeremy Zawodny).

The comments and reactions and total non-reading immediate reactions splurted out into the post represent thoughtless fandom. Geek love. Open Source Code love? Too hard. Perl or Python script? Even that's too hard. How about just adoring a concept, like the GOOG?

For Jeremy to even besmirch GOOG results in negative comments and people explaining away that surely Microsoft must have provided a template (even though over and over again that was debunked) that both Yahoo! and Google used. Whew.

I guess the surprising part is that anyone, let alone a technological darling, would do something so obviously dumb and mishandle the underlying code to boot. The discussion around all of this is waaaay more interesting, though, than the actual act.
