which means that common usage is that power supply means the box that plugs into the wall.
No, it doesn't. It means that Google's algorithm picked up on the words "iPhone" and "power" and found the nearest probable inclusion of those words in a term. It has nothing - nothing - to do with "common usage".
nope. it means that google knows what was meant by a given search term based on what people actually use in the real world, not your little world.
google uses a lot of smarts to give you the results you want and they have a *lot* of employees whose sole job is to tweak things for common usage, slang, spelling errors, etc. to do exactly that.google does that for a lot of search terms.
OK...you're on record for saying that Google "knows" things and redirects to "whatever people actually use in the real world".
If I Google "Apple power supply", I get:wrong conclusion.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC461LL/A/apple-60w-magsafe-power-adapter-fo r-macbook-and-13-inch-macbook-pro
where it shows an "Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter"
If I Google "Apple iPhone Power Supply", I get http://store.apple.com/us/iphone/iphone-accessories/power#! where it shows Apple charging devices called "power adapters".
So, I have to conclude - based on your expert advice - that in the "real world" that people actually use "adapter" to describe the device. Not "power supply".
I don't seem to be able to Google "Apple power supply" and find anything called a "power supply". I guess Google does "know" things.that just shows that apple calls it a power adapter.
To mix metaphors, you're out on a limb with your back to the wall.nope. once again, you demonstrate your ignorance in anything technical.
