Also remember it depends on the source.

Collecting browser stats from a linux website will undoubtedly give you
different results from collecting stats from microsoft.com.

Google would be a great yardstick since everyone uses it, but alas they

And remember there are *four* types of liars: liars, damn liars, statisticians
and Excel spreadsheet users.
