Cuil: Another Google Challenger Launches--to a Cool Reception
Just weeks after the last highly touted Google challenger, Powerset, was

“cool” and previously sporting an additional “l”), boasts a Web index three 
times the assumed size of Google’s (though I’m not aware of Google admitting to 
a particular index size lately), a management team with an impressive pedigree 
(several people from Google), a different set of algorithms that in part 
analyze the content of pages, and a radically different presentation of search

You've got too much e-mail
... According to a growing number of academics, "technologists" and 
psychologists, our dependence on e-mail -- the need to attend to a constantly 
beeping in-box -- is creating anxiety in the workplace, adversely affecting the 
ability to focus, diminishing productivity and threatening family bonds. The 
problem has become so severe that a new crop of entrepreneurs has sprung up 
with antidotes -- which sometimes involve creating more e-mail.

Legal Opinion: Privacy on parade in Fleet Street and the law courts
What is our nation coming to, when Fleet Street is censored for publishing 
clandestinely obtained, intimate details and images of sexual activities, 
carried out on private property between consenting adults? The privacy action 
brought by the Formula One boss Max Mosley, over the publication of details, 
images and footage of his S&M sessions with five dominatrices, has had tongues

who has been criticised openly as the media-unfriendly foe of Fleet Street – 
this was not a "landmark case".
