Cubelogic Improv

Anyway, I think it’s refreshing to see Cuil fail.

It’d be sad to see Cuil succeed.

Considering slicehost.com and grokthis.net (and VPS Village).
I love how these companies are minimalistic, with no bullshit attached.
Xen VPS hosting is the future (well, present) of smart web hosting. I don’t know why I ignored this for so long.

Maybe it’s old news, but anyway…

Twitter should adopt it instead of tinyurl.

Never share your Facebook password with anyone. Never. No Facebook employee will ever ask for it, and no one else should know it. If you are ever prompted to log in to Facebook, make sure it’s from a legitimate Facebook web address. [Source]

So Facebook is telling people not to enter their Facebook username and password on other websites, such as websites that want to access and integrate with Facebook data. Good. That’s what a person with some residual brain functions should always do anyway.

The fucked up thing is that Facebook has a feature doing exactly that! In other words, Facebook is asking users to enter other websites’ credentials into Facebook to suck in the information they have on those sites. Fuckbook, err Facebook was one of the first to promote such unethical practices (they’re actually responsible for the spreading of this shit) and now they even go around preaching how wrong it is, while they still use it for their own advantage. You shameless corporate hypocrites.

You can tell that cuil sucks just by looking at its home page. There are so many wrong things about it.

1. It’s black. I think a black background for a search engine is horribly wrong. Search is about bringing things to light, not the opposite.
2. The search box is in the lower half of the screen.
3. cuil, the name. Are you serious?
4. Why do I care about how many pages you search? I don’t know how many are out there. Plus, I want to search them all anyway. I just want meaningful results. Which cuil don’t bring.
5. Fuck, the search box is not even centered.
6. The overall impression is that they want to look cool, not actually solve problems.
7. I don’t know why, but I can’t even think about my search in such a home page… my mind just goes into a halt.

Petroleum, coal, nuclear energy… what the hell are we thinking? Carlo Rubbia, Physics Nobel prize, said that to solve the planet energy problems all we need would be a 200 km x 200 km square of solar panels. And that area is only 0.1% of our deserts. Our deserts will become a precious resource. How’s that for revolutionary thinking?

If only the world was led by scientists and engineers, instead of assholes and “magnaccia” (pimps)…

That’s what happens to me every time I use Windows.
