Does anyone remember cuil. A search engine touted as a google killer and started by a bunch of google mutineers. Now even the domain cuil.com is free. Google rules indeed

Umm ... guys I take back my statement. Bill is one of the world greatest philanthropists. Despite the shortcomings of this particular campaign lots of MS $ are going to charity through the Bill and Mellinda Foundation.

Saying this will cost me some karma but trust me my real world karma will go up having realised how unfair my critique was.

Check the fine print at the bottom.

Microsoft® is donating $1.15 per download to Feeding America® up to a maximum of $1,000,000.

If each download is 1.15 and each download is 8 meals that's 14c a meal. Ignore that ..........let move to the next issue Why the million dollar maximum does Microsoft fear that a download frenzy will put a hole through their pocket jeez!? Anyway just downloaded it and will install it when it rains cats and dogs. lets all download it guys ...four times if you feel like it...we be Robin Hoods stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

@jrockway dude that 404 message is not exactly "fatally funny" BUT I think if all webmasters made an effort to be bit more creative with their 404 pages the world would be a better place and less peeps would die of congestive heart failure
