There were 83 articles on this at Google News. But this is really not that big a deal. Google has thousands of employees, it gives them surveys, questionnaires, etc., and feeds that info into a data warehouse. Then, after a bunch of people quit, it takes that data, analyzes and figures out who else fits the pattern of those who quit. A complex problem, but hardly rocket science.

More surprising to me is how GMail comes up with these wacky results, as shown below:

So….chemistry.com equates to gonorrhea and car crash photos. hmm.
