Now why in your opinion, Google shows weired results and Yahoo got the more accurate answers (specially for Martha Stewart) ?
I think it all goes of internal linking of sites that Google shows and incoming links where most people tend to links internally to the main page with the word HOME.
Webmasters and developers should be aware that it is more relevant to have the logo, or the brand name + the word home so you don’t get your site ranking good for the word home when you are a newspaper, isn’t it right NYTimes.com ?
