This past month, we did not have any official update but something made the Google results rumble in late August, we have over 250 comments with complaints in the post. I am waiting on official confirmation from Google if there was some sort of update or not.
Google's Matt Cutts also announced links within widgets must be nofollowed. Google moved the reconsideration requests feature into the new manual actions viewer. Plus, webmasters and SEOs are getting impatient with not seeing a PageRank update in over six months.
Otherwise, the ongoing WebmasterWorld thread is pretty quiet over the labor day weekend.

We got the biggest hit i have ever seen a site can get .. something like 75% of search traffic gone!! What's happening with Google it;s becoming unbearable all these changes seems like only big names are benefiting and everyone bites the dust at some point..

I wonder while Google is not updating the page ranks, probably they are very busy writing codes for new algorithms
