Why does Google News still have 'Beta' in its logo? Surely it's no longer in testing stage, since it has long ago become part of the Google toolbar, etc.

Maybe Google are being "extra professional" -- but I wouldn't say that the News Search is any more beta than the core search, given the live changes that have been going on there over the last few months!

To be honest, i don't know why it's still in Beta, seems to be working most of the time to me, see a few pictures sometimes which doesn't match the articles (On the frontpage) but from previous things Google have done, they have taken a long time before they remove the Beta name, i think it's just wait and see.
