"They're not all lemmings: While many
search engines look exactly alike, with their
news headlines, stock quotes and
horoscopes, there are a few who break
away from the herd. AskJeeves is one, but
the latest is three-month-old,
Stanford-born, algorithm-using
Google.com."
[aside: incidentally,
the link to Google.com on this page
actually went to [2] instead of the
real search engine. How's that for
spoofing? CERT issues a warning on IP spoofing,
but in reality it's no more dangerous than
putting your birthdate into a portal
horoscope just so the advertisers can figure
out your profile and sell it to people.
