Same story reported from several sources:

Further, you should link directly to the original source, except that in this blog post the URL is broken.

Um no, the source is directly noted and link properly within text and in the source list of the article.

Maybe it's been fixed, maybe it was my browser, maybe it was a heisenbug, but when I wrote my comment I clicked on the "wrote in a blog post" several times, and each time got a "Bad URL" message. I've just tried again, and this time it's sent me here:

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-qua...

which I assume is what was intended.

Fairy Nuff.

My real point is that the blog post lunk to here offers nothing extra to the original from Google, and to quote http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    In Submissions 

    ...

    Please submit the original source. If a blog post
    reports on something they found on another site,
    submit the latter.

I could be wrong, but this submission just looks like blog spam. Can you elaborate on what you think the submission adds over the original from Google?
