Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, shared a photo of him reading Reddit on his laptop while listening to the co-founder of Reddit give a talk. SEOs would pay big bucks to see what is on Matt's laptop. The tools he uses to find and squash spam, the bookmarks his has on his browser and so forth.
This may be the best shot we've seen of his laptop screen yet.
It obviously just shows Reddit in his browser and everything else, i.e. the bookmarks, seems blurred out and you really see nothing valuable here.
Can you make anything out from this picture?
Matt himself shared this on Google+.

Cutts should stop wasting time on Reddit and start making Google more fair and balanced for all websites.

There's a Fry from Futurama "Shut up and take my money!" meme on the screen, so that narrows it down to just 1 of 14 billion Reddit threads. We're THIS close to cracking the algo! EDIT: Whoops, just realized it's a Fry "Not sure if..." meme, more likely. And I call myself a scientist.

Not sure I'd say low quality, more like focusing on the people in the background making the foreground blurred.
