I am not sure if it is a testing by showing the top 10 on each section when you have a mouse over.
I have read on some online and offline newspapers some critics against Google in Sweden. WHAT was the Reason behind having the word HOROR on a dating site sponsored link ?
Google had some sponsored links AdWords or what is called in swedish Sponsrade Länkar for their client in Dating sector: sites are Meetic.se and Motesplatsen.se.
Whenever Internet users were searching for the word “horor” (Horror in english), two dating sites appeared on the right or top side of Google.se
Google Sverige presschef appraised the answer with apologizes to the concerned swedish market and the 2 dating sites meetic.se and motesplatsen.se
In My opinion, it can be a human editing and/or robot error for this reason:
There was a popular sex horor forum in sweden that still positioned number one in Google.se when you search for “horor”. This site contained these words Porr, horor och feminister and was or used to be on adsense program or had a popular search term as its name horor.
So Google robot picked up a popular search term related to a sex forum and placed it as Title sponsored links for their respective cliens. This process was automated.

Better Stubbing in Python
So you’ve learned all about method stubs, mock objects, and fakes. You might be tempted to stub out slow or I/O-dependent built-ins. For example:
def Foo(path):
if os.path.exists(path):
return DoSomething()
else:
return DoSomethingElse()
def testFoo(self): # Somewhere in your unit test class
old_exists = os.path.exists
try:
os.path.exists = lambda x: True
self.assertEqual(Foo(’bar’), something)
os.path.exists = lambda x: False
self.assertEqual(Foo(’bar’), something_else)
finally:
os.path.exists = old_exists # Remember to clean-up after yourself!
Congratulations, you just achieved 100% coverage! Unfortunately, you might find that this test fails in strange ways. For example, given the following DoSomethingElse, which checks the existence of a different file:
def DoSomethingElse():
assert os.path.exists(some_other_file)
return some_other_file
Foo will now throw an exception in its second invocation because os.path.exists returns False so the
assertion fails.
You could avoid this problem by stubbing or mocking out DoSomethingElse, but the task might be daunting in a
real-life situation. Instead, it is safer and faster to parameterize the built-in:
def Foo(path, path_checker=os.path.exists):
if path_checker(path):
return DoSomething()
else:
return DoSomethingElse()
def testFoo(self):
self.assertEqual(Foo(’bar’, lambda x: True), something)
self.assertEqual(Foo(’bar’, lambda x: False), something_else)
