On the original page, commenter Kim has a hypothesis: Essentially, all results from Google Trends are normalized.... More and more non-technical people are using google and thus the percentage of searches for programming declines. Sounds reasonable to me. These graphs don't even have units on the Y axis. They're useless without some idea of what they're measuring: absolute or relative numbers? Somebody needs to read How to Lie With Statistics.
