July 28  2008  09:57  ET</div> <div> Giant Dwarf Posted: Juky 28th, 2008</div> <div> <B>SAN FRANCISCO -- Anna Patterson's last Internet search engine was so impressive that industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="d249a06e0.jpg" border=0 width="160" height="110" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 482 WIDTH="707"><div> She believes her latest invention is even more valuable -- only this time it's not for sale.</div> <bR> <div> Patterson instead intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.</div> <bR> <div> The end result is Cuill, pronounced "cool." Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.</div> <bR> <div> Cuill had kept a low profile while Patterson, her husband, Tom Costello, and two other former Google engineers -- Russell Power and Louis Monier -- searched for better ways to search.</div> <bR> <div> Now, it's boasting time.</div> <div> For starters, Cuill's search index spans 120 billion Web pages.</div> <bR> <div> Patterson believes that's at least three times the size of Google's index, although there is no way to know for certain. Google stopped publicly quantifying its index's breadth nearly three years ago when the catalog spanned 8.2 billion Web pages.</div> <bR> <div> Cuill won't divulge the formula it has developed to cover a wider swath of the Web with far fewer computers than Google. And Google isn't ceding the point: Spokeswoman Katie Watson said her company still believes its index is the largest.</div> <bR> <div> After getting inquiries about Cuill, Google asserted on its blog Friday that it regularly scans through 1 trillion unique Web links. But Google said it doesn't index them all because they either point to similar content or would diminish the quality of its search results in some other way. The posting didn't quantify the size of Google's index.</div> <bR> <div> A search index's scope is important because information, pictures and content can't be found unless they're stored in a database. But Cuill believes it will outshine Google in several other ways, including its method for identifying and displaying pertinent results.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 513 WIDTH="707"><div> Rather than trying to mimic Google's method of ranking the quantity and quality of links to Web sites, Patterson says Cuill's technology drills into the actual content of a page. And Cuill's results will be presented in a more magazine-like format instead of just a vertical stack of Web links. Cuill's results are displayed with more photos spread horizontally across the page and include sidebars that can be clicked on to learn more about topics related to the original search request.</div> <bR> <div> Finally, Cuill is hoping to attract traffic by promising not to retain information about its users' search histories or surfing patterns - something that Google does, much to the consternation of privacy watchdogs.</div> <bR> <div> Cuill is just the latest in a long line of Google challengers.</div> <bR> <div> The list includes swaggering startups like Teoma (whose technology became the backbone of Ask.com), Vivisimo, Snap, Mahalo and, most recently, Powerset, which was acquired by Microsoft Corp. this month.</div> <bR> <div> Even after investing hundreds of millions of dollars on search, both Microsoft and Yahoo Inc. have been losing ground to Google. Through May, Google held a 62 per cent share of the U.S. search market followed by Yahoo at 21 per cent and Microsoft at 8.5 per cent, according to comScore Inc.</div> <bR> <div> Google has become so synonymous with Internet search that it may no longer matter how good Cuill or any other challenger is, said Gartner Inc. analyst Allen Weiner.</div> <bR> <div> "Search has become as much about branding as anything else," Weiner said. "I doubt (Cuill) will be keeping anyone at Google awake at night."</div> <bR> <div> Google welcomed Cuill to the fray with its usual mantra about its rivals. "Having great competitors is a huge benefit to us and everyone in the search space," Watson said. "It makes us all work harder, and at the end of the day our users benefit from that."</div> <bR> <div> But this will be the first time that Google has battled a general-purpose search engine created by its own alumni. It probably won't be the last time, given that Google now has nearly 20,000 employees.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 285 WIDTH="707"><div> Patterson joined Google in 2004 after she built and sold Recall, a search index that probed old Web sites for the Internet Archive. She and Power worked on the same team at Google.</div> <bR> <div> Although he also worked for Google for a short time, Monier is best known as the former chief technology officer of AltaVista, which was considered the best search engine before Google came along in 1998. Monier also helped build the search engine on eBay's online auction site.</div> <bR> <div> The trio of former Googlers are teaming up with Patterson's husband, Costello, who built a once-promising search engine called Xift in the late 1990s. He later joined IBM Corp., where he worked on an "analytic engine" called WebFountain.</div> <bR> <div> Costello's Irish heritage inspired Cuill's odd name.

"This product could go head to head with the BlackBerry."</div> <bR> <div> CTV tech expert Kris Abel was one of the first to get his hands on the much-ballyhooed gadget Friday morning but said he wasn't the only one willing to brave thundershowers to get in line.</div> <bR> <div> "There's a line going right around the block of diehards waiting to get their hands on this phone," he told Canada AM from a Rogers store in Toronto. "When I woke up this morning there was rolling thunder, there was lightning, and I wasn't sure if anyone was going to be here."</div> <bR> <div> Controversy dogged Rogers Wireless in the weeks leading up to its release of the phone, when it announced it would cost $60 for the most basic data plan on its rate roster.</div> <bR> <div> On Wednesday, just a few days before the launch, the company announced a promotion that would give early adopters of the iPhone a six-gigabyte data package for $30/month.</div> <bR> <div> However, users wanting to take advantage of the promotional price must sign on to a three-year contract.</div> <bR> <div> "A lot of people still think it should be an unlimited plan," said Abel, noting iPhone users in the U.S. have an affordable option for unlimited data. "The phone is designed to use Internet all the time."</div> <bR> <div> Rogers has said it has enough iPhones to meet the demand in Canada, although it hasn't released specifics on its inventory. Apple is hoping to sell 10 million iPhones around the world by the end of 2008.</div> <bR> <div> Analysts have suggested the hype may die down quickly once a small segment of technology-devoted consumers gets their hands on the phone. They suggest its purchase may not be a widespread phenomenon due to the cost of running the device.</div> <bR> <div> "The average person is going to look at this thing and say, `Very cool, very nice phone,' but am I willing to spend the money for a three-year contract at probably $70 to $80 a month minimum when you talk about voice and data," said telecom analyst Jack Gold. "This thing is an extra $40 to $50 a month over three years... It's a lot of money."</div> <bR> <div> The phone, which runs on the faster 3G data network, is retailing in Canada for about $200.

He allegedly told officers that Jerome had offered to pay him and Hince $5,000 if they killed the three people and made it look like a suicide.</div> <bR> <div> Meanwhile, Jerome fought a legal battle against his nieces and nephews for Remi's inheritance. It's estimated Remi had property valued at more than $1 million and his net worth was about $500,000, but he had not named Jerome as a beneficiary in his will.</div> <bR> <div> Jerome produced a second will that purportedly did include him as a beneficiary, according to court documents.

His point, he said, was that Dion has "the stones" to stand up to Albertans who put oil above the environment. He said Dion proved his toughness when he stood up to separatist Quebecers in the 1990s.</div> <bR> <div> "My attempt to show the Liberal leader has the stones to face down those who think of themselves first, and the country second -- no matter where they hail from -- succeeded only in making his task more difficult. That was not my intention. Nor do I have anything but respect for my fellow citizens in Quebec and Alberta," Turner wrote on his blog Friday night.</div> <bR> <div> Dion said late Friday that Turner retracted the statement. However, on his latest blog -- still posted on his website Saturday evening --Turner wrote: "There's no way I, as a federal member of the Canadian House of Commons, am going to lay down before people who openly advocate ripping the country apart. Moan all you want ... but don't expect me to roll."</div> <bR> <div> On Friday, The Canadian Press reported that Turner admitted his words could have been better chosen.</div> <bR> <div> "In my enthusiasm, I perhaps have misspoken myself.
