Mr Anti-Google

MrNovember writes "Salon is running a story on some guy named Daniel Brandt who they call "Mr. Anti-Google." Mr. Brandt runs a sort of anti-establishment database of citations called NameBase as well as Google Watch. He claims that Google's PageRank system is undemocratic primarily because it doesn't rank his NameBase information very highly. He also points out that Google maintains a log of all you've ever searched for associated with a long-term cookie. Google's system seems to work the best if you ask me but, on the other hand, link popularity may not provide the most intelligent top rankings."

Re:Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 54

Really? Wow! That is just so tragic . That is just so sad.

But wait a minute, didn't he die last week...and the week before...and the week before that...and the week before that...etc, etc.

This is probally gonna cost me some karma but screw it. I have to ask the question.

Why do you exist? Have you nothing better to do than to post the same bogus piece of news over and over again. Hardly an article on /. goes by without a Stephen King is dead post, or the story by that loser that can't get laid and probally (thankfully) will never will because he's a whiny little putz...or whatever.

Goddess preserve me from these random pieces of wasted, self-replicating genetic material
