Whether he wins the suit or not doesn't matter. With so many people slashdotting amazon to buy his book, Kaplan is bound to make some good royalty money.

No craters if blast happens in flight. With the volume of fuel that would be required to propel this kind of beast an explosion might mean thousands of pieces, no big pieces will be left to make a crater.

I find it ridiculous. Shouldn't these guys be suing their competitors for registering their trademark for adwords.

Using same cache

On: Amazon's Search Engine Goes Live

Its just a different front-end for google's search database. Try to search for 'google' in google.com and in a9.com check the link for cached page. For a9 : http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:zhool8dxBV4J: http://www.google.com/+google&hl=en&start=1&ie=UTF -8 For google : http://216.239.53.104/search?q=cache:zhool8dxBV4J: www.google.com/+google&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 And it goes to google after that :)). Nice integration with book site and history can be useful. Earlier also search engines tried to introduce concept of save this search -- God only tests us, he doesn't know how to debug.

Now I am planning to try ccache also.. but lemme take one step at a time. :D

On: Google Offers Personalized Search

Re:who cares?

On: The New Yahoo!, Google, MSN Et Al. Battleground

In India we have Life Insurance Corporation.. Life Insurance is always reffered as LIC no matter you are getting done from which agency.. Surely when the brand name substitutes a verb it better for the brand name.
