Publish: Google fixes page removal bug

A small number of websites - some very large, like Microsoft's - were taken off of Google briefly when a disgruntled website owner exploited a bug in Google's page removal system. The owner claimed that the same method had been used to take his site down, and he wanted to draw attention to the problem. It apparently worked, as the sites were put back up within a few hours, and Google released a statement saying the bug has been rendered harmless.
