> Caching Google makes no sense beyond some static resources.

Really? So you cannot make any sense of the idea of caching, say, news articles? Blog posts? Software documentation? StackOverflow Qs/As? The cached pages are 100% useless in your mind?

All of those are not Google. OP was probably thinking of SERPs.
I think lack of sleep got the better of me there, sorry :\ but I still don't see what the issue with caching search engine results is. Why shouldn't result pages be cached? I would totally want to cache them locally when on such a high-latency connection, especially when I can expect similar queries (like in a classroom).
Indeed.
