EU to Develop Search Engine

William Robinson writes "Digital Media is reporting that French President Jacques Chirac is making plans for a European search engine called "Quaero" to rival US internet companies such as Yahoo and Google. From the article: 'Those involved in the Quaero project, including Thomson, France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom, have said that it will be much more than a typical search engine. It will provide an array of multimedia tools for identifying and indexing images, sound and text. Quaero will also reportedly include a powerful translating tool which will be able to 'understand' audio as well as text. The developers plan to make Quaero available on all platforms, including PCs, mobile devices and digital TVs.'"

But, I have at first the pictures in my mind, where Rumsfeld is meeting Sadam selling him US C-Waepons.

Or, maybe you remember the Antrax hipe? Wasn't it come from your own laboratories?

So the best would be to sweap before our own doors - right?

Saying

France and Germany are guilty

does not imply

America is innocent.

I was responding to a post (at least they're building search engines and space exploration vehicles) that basically said "Europe is morally superior to the the US", and I was just reminding him that it's not.

Nothing more, nothing less.
