Premier tech-blogger of the New York Times David Pogue (also author of punk-dystopian Sci-Fi novel "Hard Drive" [ http://amazon.com/Hard-Drive-David-Pogue/dp/0441002552] and other lit.ephemera) cannot quite get over the astonishment of there being people selflessly and wholly unremuneratively devoting their lives to making Google a better Google (sort-of: by piecemeal-laborious manual tagging/ indexing of online pictorial content @ [ http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/].... unlike in, say, their own Flickr and similar picture repositories). Go figure. On the other hand, maybe he is onto something.... could there be a Church of the Holy Page Rank in our near future inquiring minds demand to know (where's the FAQ?).
