Is Google making a mistake?

Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire, by making more people aware of the photo - and thus driving traffic to the site that posted it. That increased traffic will mean the site will maintain a high ranking in Google's search results.

Starbucks: The decision to brew decaf on-demand in the afternoons is being misrepresented

This seems smart to me, I think people need to calm down about their coffee.

clipped from starbucksgossip.typepad.com For many of our stores, the demand for decaf is greatly reduced in the afternoon and therefore yields high waste with the current standard. In recognition of this, stores no longer need to continually brew decaf coffee after 12 p.m. and can now apply the same standard that exists for Morning Pick.
