I am not merely suggesting, I am telling ya that search engines can and HAVE been gamed to display results that are favorable to one side or the other in any fight.

THAT is the single most retarded comment on this thread!

So google which OWNS the search engine business and is DEADLY combat with Apple vs Android, has gamed their own search engine to show thousands of problem apps and viruses effecting Android and None effecting Apple?

You seriously expect anyone to buy that? ALEX JONES would call YOU a nutter!!

Naaaah.
The most retarded comment is the one you just made.

Nope.
Applebots can and DO game search engine results though, just like Google was gamed by Bush haters to display, George Bush's name whenever a search was made for “miserable failure”:

"Google Kills Bush’s Miserable Failure Search & Other Google Bombs
Jan 25, 2007 at 11:00pm ET by Danny Sullivan

After just over two years, Google has finally defused the “Google Bomb” that has returned US President George W. Bush at the top of its results in a search on miserable failure."

Search results are gamed all the time, and not necessarily by the search engine owners. The search engine owners can change their algorithms to get around the "bomb" though if they want. Only thing is, Google is very happy to promote the "Window is not secure" meme, so they will not necessarily be in any hurry to defuse such a search "bomb".

In fact, Google has been throwing FUD at Windrows for as long as I can remember.
No more Windows at Google: Just FUD?
