Cuil Search Not Ready For Primetime
Cuil search engine needs work:
We didn’t find any results for “buffalo sabres”
Some reasons might be…a typo. Please check your spelling.
your search includes a term that is very rare. Try to find a more common substitute.
too many search terms. Please try fewer terms.
Finally, try to think of different words to describe your search.
Versus this from Google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 3,610,000 for buffalo sabres with Safesearch on.
Safesearch was on for both. Cuil is the latest challenger to Googlefor search supremacy, and they claim to index more pages than the Goog. I’ll wait a while to see if that actually pans out, but it would help if they could actually find something I’m searching for…
edit: okay, I’m getting results now. Guess they are getting hit pretty hard.

Google Search Tricks
You may know some of these already, but Lifehacker has a handy guide for getting more than just your normal search results from Google. Since many of us have Google as our homepages (or use the Google toolbar), it’s a quick and easy way to find out when a movie is playing, check the weather, or check the status of a flight among other things.

Nanosolar ‘Prints’ First Flexible Solar Panels
Dec 19, 2007 Sci/Tech
I first saw this tech at PopSci, and now Nanosolar has announced that they met their deadline and are shipping the first batch of the flexible, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) based cells. It really seems like these guys are the real deal, and not one of the many ‘look at this cool tech!’ companies who gather interest (and investors) and disappear to the vaporware wastes with Duke Nukem 4ever and flying cars.
