Is Cuil killing the Internet?

While the world gets excited over Google’s new open-source browser, Chrome, a new story is emerging about one of the Web’s next-generation utilities: Cuil, the search engine heralded as a “Google killer,” might just be taking out the entire Internet, one site at a time.

As TechCrunch’s Don Reisinger reports, Cuil’s Twiceler indexing bot is so bandwith-hungry that it’s shutting down sites all over the Web:

IDF and the new Mac notebooks

ZDnet news provides this information:

The Intel Developer Forum makes it clear what Apple’s new notebooks - which I (Robin Harris) predict will be announced Tuesday, September 16 - will offer. Will it be worth the wait? If longer battery life and higher performance are important to you - yes.

And if you weren’t waiting? The new designs and features may make you rethink your allegiance to Windows - as so many already have.

IDF tells us a lot
So what’s coming? Here’s what the Storage Bits crystal ball reveals:
* Quad cores.
* Switchable graphics.
* WiMax.
* Solid-state disks.
* Larger memory capacity.
* RGB LED backlight.
* No internal optical drives.
* Blu-ray support.
* 64 bit hardware -
* A glass trackpad the size of …
* Pervasive power management.

But what will they look like?

Apple has lots of other technology that it can incorporate to create a real geewhiz experience. No one in the industry does it better. Whatever they do there will be some hits and some misses but the image of their design leadership will continue.

The Storage Bits take….

Apple’s notebook team has been working on these products for years. Their tight HW and SW integration coupled with Microsoft’s long development cycles means that Apple will be well positioned to take market share.

Google announces new browser -- Chrome

Google will launch a Web browser called Chrome that will take on Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and apparently Mozilla’s Firefox, which the search giant essentially funds.

• Google’s browser will be open source;
• Chrome will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine built from scratch;
• Tabs will be moved around;
• The browser has an address bar with auto-completion.
• There’s a privacy feature like IE has;
• And Google aims to be proactive about fighting phishing and malware attacks.
• http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=9847
  

Here is the link to read the comic book that explains the browser.
