Life at Cuil: strawberries, muffins and porn
Thursday, July 31st, 2008
A new search engine launched this week, prompting a surprisingly huge response online. To be honest, I was just as guilty of getting excited as anyone else.
Whether it was the David-versus-Goliath appeal of a tiny startup going up against a company that can boast to be both a household name and a verb, or whether it was the pure controversy – several Cuil engineers have come directly from Google, after all – I don’t know. But one thing looks certain; we want the search monopoly to be toppled.
What every notebook needs: sapphire and sound effects
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
We don’t see many laptops here at PC Pro that are unashamadly devoted to luxury, but this Asus Lamborghini VX3 bucks that trend with a barrage of extravagent features.
The wrist-rest, for instance, is clad in leather, and there’s a gilded Lambo logo on the lid – just so people on the train know that you’ve spent £1,500 on such a quality product. The laptop itself is housed in a smart box and then, inside that, a plush velvet bag. Even the included Bluetooth mouse comes with a little pouch all of it’s own, and there’s a leather-coated mousepad to compliment it, too – and that’s also adorned with the Lamborghini logo.
