As a Google user, you're familiar with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right results for every query as quickly as it does? The heart of Google's search technology is PigeonRank?, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University.

They run Wal-Mart too. Go to any local Wal-Mart and you'll find that they carry bird-seed. Now why would a store meant for people carry food meant for birds...
