What do you make of this (http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/6-10-2005-71368.asp) article? Mainly the part about domains and page ranking?

I have multiple servers (two hosted by ISP, one on a high speed SDSL at the corporate HQ and one on a residential broadband) and look very carefully at the server logs. I do my own server log parsing too.
I learned a lot how spiders index your site.
Each day arond 18.00 hours (GMT+0200), they scan part of the site.
They base the pages to download based on the result of previous scans. A time ago, the site was not modified for months, so seach engines only performed a pass every month or so. Now, with nearly each page being modified on a weekly base, the site gets indexed much frequently.
I try to add some 10 k of useful content (relevant text) each day to keep the spiders happy.
The pages that are requested are based on links from some time ago: the sitemap.xml that i provide according to google's suggestion is not used, and a great number of pages are not present anymore. To help the spiders i provide a redirect to a similar page for each page i remove.
This mean a lot of work (at least one hour for my 'home' server).
There is one thing that does not seem to apply (at least fro Belgium): the sandbox principle for new domains.
We created a new domain, and it was indexed within a week and the results were present in seach engines. Of course this site has no page rank yet.

That topic has been around for several months. The assumptions made by the author are purely speculative. Just because a company patents a concept, that does not mean that they are using it. You patent something to keep your competitors from using it.
We do know that the Sandbox (aging filter) does exist, at least here in the US and I think also in Canada. But there is no current evidence to indicate that any of the other issues are in play.
Does it mean anything? No one but the Google engineers know for sure, and they are not taking about it.
