Google may be screwing around with our heads more than we want to know.

Oh I love this part!

Rammelt said that American Blind plans to examine Google's algorithms and search technology when the case moves into a discovery phase to fully investigate the extent of infringement. American Blind is seeking damages as well as a temporary and permanent injunction to bar Google from listing its competitors for keywords that match or are similar to its trademarks

IfThis comes to trial, I believe that during the discovery phase they might well have the right to ask that Google reveal just how it ranks sites for relevancy. Hmmmmm....wonder where you can book tickets for the trial?[/b]
