Couldn't resist to check a few others. Apple is losing the limelight: http://dirtyaura.org/images/apple_is.png

True, but it is quite funny.

For additional time wasting try:

google is bill gates is facebook is apple is

and many others...

Reminiscent of the ebay ads that would come back with 'find $query on ebay now' where $query would be anything you typed into the google search box (the early days of the adsense API).

It didn't take very long before some very embarrassing screenshots surfaced.

And before that it was Amazon. I still remember the "find it on Amazon" link on every page of AOL NetFind search results :) Apparently it was some special deal they made with AOL, from back when search engines did things like that: http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,666067,00...

Have none of you people heard of capturing groups with parens and references? I assume you meant to write:

  s/(Google's) (search engine suggestions)/\1 automated \2 based on users' queries/

or, more simply,

s/Google's automated search engine suggestions based on users' queries/Google's users/
