Google won't let me search now.... I am a computer virus
Today, I was trying to search for twitter desktop clients and I entered the query "twitter desktop clients" in the search bar in IE 7. It was a nasty early morning surprise to see that I am forbidden (HTTP 403). Check out the image below.

Google now allows you to buy trademarks as keywords
Yesterday, I was reading an article in Financial Times. Google is now allowing anyone to buy trademarks are ad keywords.
So now, I could very easily show my ad against a competitor's search. E.g., Nissan motors could now bid for keyword Toyota and show their Ads when one searches for Toyota. This means if I have to save my keyword, I need to pay more.
