Other things give you whacky results!
Google HP 700/96, and you get decent results.
Google apple, and the first 20 items relate to Apple computers or Apple
Corp., not to eating apples.
Of course. The Internet is a technical thing, despite salespeoples'
attempt to turn it into something else, and despite the general public's
fascination with thinking of it as the next generation of TV set.
Google Commodore, and surprisingly, the first
line is not Commodore computer
related. (Interestingly, it seems a company has bought the rights to the
Commodore and Amiga names, and will be re-inventing the C64 with nVidia
graphics inside)
I suppose that's not all that shocking, though it is somewhat
dismaying.
Google wolf cub, and you get everything from
animals to Scouting to music to
golf clubs!
Good heavens.
Seems like they need to tweak their algorithms
again?
Of that there is NO question.

It's the new improved "dynamic search algorithm". Go back
and do
the query again from the same machine. The results won't be the same.
"Recent" updates that Google turned on that supposedly look at the
totality of your (and apparently other's) recent internet activity to
post and rank results...
