Turing's Cathedral
an interesting article. I personally don't believe that Google is hiding any significant advances in AI technology. Their strength is simple technologies, engineered to work on enormous scales. Peter Norvig, AI academic, is Director of Search Quality, and has publicly stated that he personally does not believe significant progress in strong AI is at hand.
The massive success google has had with relatively simple information processing is sometimes difficult to accept. And many people suspect that their technology is hiding something. I believe these people are simply underestimating how much an advantage well engineered implementation presents, even of simple ideas.

Some musings by your outlawpoet guide, with links, txts, and descriptions
"In the mirrors of many judgments my hands are the color of blood. I am a part of the evil that exists in the world and in Shadow. I sometime fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils. I destroy Melkins when I find them, and on that Great Day of which prophets speak but in which they do not truly believe, on that day when the world is completely cleansed of evil, then I, too, will go down into darkness, swallowing curses. Perhaps even sooner than that, I now judge. But whatever... Until that time, I shall not wash my hands nor let them hang useless."
--Corwin "The Guns of Avalon" by Roger Zelazny
