Started by three former employees of Google, Cuil (which they want you to pronounce as “cool”) claims to be the world’s biggest search engine, indexing more pages than everybody else put together.

I’ve just spotted another case where free information = profit. The Brazillian technobrega scene is driven mostly by artists encouraging their music to be copied freely. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, RIAA!
The Colossus Mark II was one of the first modern computers ever built, way back in 1944, and used to break cryptographic codes intercepted by the allies. When the war was over, Winston Churchill ordered the machines to be destroyed.
Now, through the efforts of a man named Tony Sale, a working copy of the [...]
Just a reminder: ICON 2008 starts on Friday, 11 July! Details on their website.
