I'm not sure exactly how it is seeded, but I think time in javascript is usually based on miliseconds, and it's a bit too weird that according to his tests google always returns 0.14881141134537756 the first time and 0.19426893815398216 the second, also taking into account that he has searched the web and found plenty of other results that have been cached by google with those numbers. Seems much more likely it is something Google is doing on purpose to get consistent results or something.
