Founder of Wikipedia plans search engine to rival Google 2007-01-23 23:42:27 Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia
, the online encyclopaedia, is set to launch an internet search engine with amazon.com that he hopes will become a rival
to Google
and Yahoo!
Mr Wales has begun working on a search engine that exploits the same user-based technology as his open-access encyclopaedia, which was launched in 2003.
The project has been dubbed Wikiasari — a combination of wiki, the Hawaiian word for quick, and asari, which is Japanese for "rummaging search".
Mr Wales told The Times that he was planning to develop a commercial version of the search engine through Wikia Inc, his for-profit company, with a provisional launch date in the first quarter of next year.
Earlier this year he secured multimillion-dollar funding from amazon.com and a separate cash injection from a group of Silicon Valley financiers to finance projects at Wikia.
However, it is understood that amazon has also collaborated with Mr Wales on the search engine project and is expected to lend its supp Read more:plans

This actually happened 2007-01-29 01:36:55 A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost “in a series of small fires.” The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: That the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
The lawyer sued…and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire, and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and c

Hard Disk Drive in 1956 2007-01-30 13:01:27 That’s the image of a hard disk drive back in 1956. The Drive (more like the closet) had 5MB memory storage.
In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a
hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.
It’s really nice knowing that now you can have a 4Gb PenDrive attached to your keys

Apple sued by Cisco for iPhone brand 2007-01-31 13:14:26 Everyone knew this move had to be coming. While Apple
may have popularized the little “i” with products like iMac, iBook, iPod, iTunes and iLife, the iPhone
name has already been taken. Cisco
has owned the trademark for iPhone since 2000 when it was purchased from Infogear. Infogear originally filed for the trademark in 1996 (well before Apple jumped into the “i” business). Cisco just recently ushered the name into service with a new line of VoIP devices marketed by Cisco’s Linksys division.
Although Apple and Cisco have been in talks for quite some time over the iPhone name, no agreement was ever reached. Nevertheless, Apple boldly decided yesterday to announce the iPhone at MacWorld. Cisco isn’t too happy about the move and has filed a lawsuit against Apple, Inc.
“Cisco entered into negotiations with Apple in good faith after Apple repeatedly asked permission to use Cisco’s iPhone name,” said Mark Chandler, senior vice president
