A little late nite tea leaf reading never hurt anyone.

Here is my interpretation: it is Googles engine to do with as they wish. In 2003, affiliates has Google by the tail and directed it any way they wanted - atleast until Florida.

To suggest that google facing a tech hurdle and not disclosing that to investors is like saying NASA should have warned the public that space travel could be hazardous. Of course Google is facing tech challenges every day - all tech based websites are.
