Also. now in retrospect, everyone could make the logical conclusion (which many of us mumbled about then)
that the completely out of character public release and fanfare of sandbox.google.com (aka new shiny uber-algo "Caffeine")
was a reactionary PR stunt (aka FUD)
to limit the amount of press and webmaster attention that Bing! was receiving at the time.

By definition, it wasn't even 6 months away from public consumption,
but Gorg sure did pounce at "unveiling" it as Bing dominated headlines and awareness.
