Don't blame Google for the errors of webdevelopers. The HTTP RFC 
specifically says that GET request should not have lasting 
side-effects:

<quote>
    In particular, the convention has been established that the 
GET and
    HEAD methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action
    other than retrieval. These methods ought to be considered 
"safe".
</quote> RFC 2616

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some applications to fix properly 
instead of implementing some lame user agent detection workaround.
