I thought I was going crazy when I posted in Google section
Poll about Google result
that search result is just going downhill all the time but it seems from postings here there are others who think so too.
Usually patents that try to cover everything, are not defendable in courts and more serves as a tool to scare the smaller companies but in case of Google the competition will be MSN and Yahoo and some how I don't think that they will be scared of legal costs.
