Juden beschweren sich über Google
Google.com: Bis vor kurzem bekam man bei der Suche nach dem Begriff 'jew' (zu deutsch: Jude) als erstes Ergebnis eine Homepage namens 'Jew watch'. Diese Homepage enthält antisemitische Inhalte.
Mittlerweile erhält man als bestes Ergebnis removejewwatch.com. Diese Seite wurde von Steven Weinstock ins Internet gestellt. Es handelt sich um eine Unterschriftenaktion.
Laut Weinstock wird die Seite 'Jew Watch' von Google entfernt, wenn sich 50.000 Leute eingetragen haben. Google dementierte dies jedoch. Die Suchergebnisse werden nur durch Algorithmen bestimmt.

Tyler verlor in Sushibar 50.000-Dollar-Wette
Aerosmith-Sänger Steven Tyler hat seine verrückteste Begegnung mit einem Fan geschildert: Er habe mit einem Japaner um 50.000 Dollar gewettet, dass er in einer Sushibar alles essen könne, sagte der 56-jährige Amerikaner der Männerzeitschrift «FHM».
«Da lebten Dinge in den Aquarien, die aussahen wie jemandes Achselhöhle.» Er habe sich übergeben müssen, bevor er alles essen konnte, und habe die Wette verloren.
Das Unglaublichste, was er auf einer Party gesehen hat, war ein Mädchen, das mit seinem Holzbein gewunken hat, wie Tyler sagte. «Ich hab' das Ding dann mit Bier aufgefüllt und so lange getrunken, bis ich nicht mehr gehen konnte», sagte er.

Ich bin ein Royal - holt mich hier raus!
Zum Nachweis seiner königlichen Abstammung will ein 75-jähriger Brite seinen Grossvater exhumieren lassen.
Mit Hilfe eines DNA-Tests will Nicholas Locock dann beweisen, dass sein Vorfahr ein Enkel von Königin Victoria war. Der Fall wurde am Samstag vor das höchste englischen Kirchengericht gebracht, das entscheiden soll, ob die sterblichen Überreste des vor fast 100 Jahren verstorbenen Henry Locock aus einem Grab neben einer Kirche in Sevenoaks exhumiert werden dürfen.

The Original GOOGLE Computer Storage
The development of the Google algorithms was carried on on a variety of Computers, mainly provided by the NSF-DARPA-NASA-funded Digital Library project at Stanford. Click to see the equipment in its laboratory setting on the basement floor of Gates Information Sciences. Crawling the web to obtain its link structure required an enormous amount of storage in comparison with typical student projects at that time. We show here the original storage assembly, containing 10 4 Gigabyte disk drives, giving 40 Gbytes total.

Newseum
The Freedom Forum has unveiled its design for a new, expanded Newseum next to the Washington, D.C., mall and its museums and monuments. The six-level, 215,000-square-foot interactive museum of news will contain three times as much exhibition space as the original facility in Arlington, Va., which closed in March 2002 to permit Newseum staff to focus exclusively on planning and developing the new museum, which is scheduled to open in late 2006.
