This is very interesting Bob and what I found more interesting was this:

Today, Google downloads the web continuously, collecting updated page information and re-processing the entire web-link graph several times per day.


There you have it from the horse's mouth. PageRank is continually calculated which can explain some of the yo-yoing of results now and then.

Technically, Google did not say they indexed 1 Trillion Pages.

Correct, although they said they found more than 1 trillion unique urls. Whichever way one looks at it, it is a lot of urls. As I mentioned in my previous comment the intriguing part is that they are claiming that they are re-calculating page-rank on what constitutes a continuous manner. Unless they have some undisclosed new mathematical way of doing this on distributed computers, they must be having a few supercomputers stashed away somewhere!
