I've had to use Google's cache maybe twice in the last year: the first time I was very surprised that they had hidden it one or two clicks deeper than it used to be; the second time was earlier today, and this time I couldn't find the button anywhere. I guess this confirms it's gone for real!


Heh.

First: "We should move the cache link one menu click deeper, we don't have room here"

(No one can easily find it now)

Later: "Wow, no one uses cache, guess we should remove the link!"


“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.'”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy


Aren't they doing the same to reviews ? and to Google Maps ?
