"afaik" too, that's all their doing...i'm sure none of the results
they get are getting any vendors/advertisers :)

it still affects a web presence. the 'targetted ads' will likely be
ruby related...

i'm just guessing that google  keeps track of the amount/types of ads
being dynamically generated ( i know *i* would be i had a web site
that implemented that). and they'll see an increase in 'ruby ads'
being generated...if those results were somehow 'leaked' to ide/editor
vendors...

all speculation of course, but nothing that happens on the web happens
in a vacuum...
