the cartoon took a long time to load but i'll be trying this out. just let's hope this doesn't turn into another Safari for Windows.

Usual google stuff, make big money from profiling--->adsense. Take over companies and code, beautify it, promote as innovation. 

I am a happy k-meleon user. I personally have no interest in any new google product. Because this new browser from google will be one more nail in the coffin of your privacy.

Competition is good that is for sure but everytiem google come up with something people just drool all over as if like they come up with something from out of space. If you look around you will find tens of alternatives to every google product and some of them are way better than google`s product line.


At the moment I am helping wikia`s web crawler. I am hoping that they will be able to provide some decent search soon. Help them grow!

just my couple cents

Ninja Kiwi:
It's a good point Kartal and one plenty of people aren't interested in. The problem is how will something like grub gain traction?

kartal:
Ninja,

Naturally in the beginning a search engine like wikia and grub are very marginal and only marginal section of the society is interested in it. As the name wikia implies it is based on wikipedia idea. Founder of wikipedia is part of the process. The idea is that a search engine and its terms should be open and public which I believe with my whole heart. Commercialised proprietary search engine is not good for future of man kind.

Look at wikipedia, it was a crazy idea in the beginning. Now it is so streamlined and developed that you can even cite for your science or literature research. Can you imagine a web space without Apache-php? Think about  Linux and what it is providing. These are all based on simple beliefs and hard work. Same thing can and should happen in internet search engines arena.

Grorgy:
Wow, anyone citing wikipedia is immediately told off in no uncertain terms where I go to school.  Its useful for background information and to suggest a way to go perhaps but it is not considered a reputable scholarly work, at least here.
