Google Prevails in Age Discrimination Suit

What's with the clearly biased subject line of the posting? The article says that the court found that Google does *not* practice age discrimination. How does that translate into "Old People Need Not Apply"?

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I guess not everyone agrees with the judge's decision in that ruling, particularly when the man's supervisor _did_ make the statement (to the terminated employee) "You do not fit in the youthful culture here at Google." PAT]
