That relies on actually using Google's broken-ass "software", and getting 
the worthless thing to even work in the first place:

Yea, I could go jumping through all their moronic hoops, but what's wrong 
with *standard* links/URLs? I don't understand why Google insists on waging 
their war against normal sensible <a> links and everything intelligent, but 
there's no reason to encourage it.

Bottom line, Google has their heads firmly up their asses, and even if they 
didn't: it makes no sense to force people to use Google's *cough* "software" 
just to access a basic URL. I don't go forcing people to use FoxIt reader 
just to **access** PDFs I link to.
