latest Google retardery

We have gmail at school and sometimes I forget to sign out when I’m done reading email. I usually get a reminder pretty quickly though because it doesn’t take long at all for something to break. Like news search. I search for something and click on the top news link. Then google tells me “Oh hi, your account doesn’t have news turned on so this page is unavailable.” Gee, thanks, maybe you could have figured that all out before providing said unavailable page as the top search result?

Anyway, the fix is as retarded as the problem. Logout and do the search as nobody at all. Then news is turned back on. Apparently we pay more for less.
