Another useful feature for power users that Google is killing.

They don't care about us that day they we have a problem and the solution is in a now defunct site. That doesn't generate revenue. "When People search on Google they need to find what they need on a click on the ads", the shareholders are saying

Maybe they are fantastic, but the idea of a company doing something positive for the world just by me using their product (for free) sounds outlandish.
