I ask a question on Google, then it gives me sites which don't have anything to do with the original question. This is all to do with my Mac?

Google has gotten less useful for everyone lately. Apparently Google is not keeping up with the SEO spammers and their new keyword spamming techniques. A poll on Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/5730396/over-77-percent-of-lifehacker-readers-say-googles-search-results-are-less-useful-lately) has shown that an overwhelming majority of users think that Google has become less useful. It's not just you and it has nothing to do with your Mac.
