Just weeks after the last highly touted Google challenger, Powerset, was snapped up by Microsoft, a new one is launching Sunday night. Cuil (pronounced “cool” and previously sporting an additional “l”), boasts a Web index three times the assumed size of Google’s (though I’m not aware of Google admitting to a particular index size lately), a management team with an impressive pedigree (several people from Google), a different set of algorithms that in part analyze the content of pages, and a radically different presentation of search results.

You've got too much e-mail
... According to a growing number of academics, "technologists" and psychologists, our dependence on e-mail -- the need to attend to a constantly beeping in-box -- is creating anxiety in the workplace, adversely affecting the ability to focus, diminishing productivity and threatening family bonds. The problem has become so severe that a new crop of entrepreneurs has sprung up with antidotes -- which sometimes involve creating more e-mail.

Legal Opinion: Privacy on parade in Fleet Street and the law courts
What is our nation coming to, when Fleet Street is censored for publishing clandestinely obtained, intimate details and images of sexual activities, carried out on private property between consenting adults? The privacy action brought by the Formula One boss Max Mosley, over the publication of details, images and footage of his S&M sessions with five dominatrices, has had tongues wagging. But, according to Mr Justice Eady – the judge who heard the case and who has been criticised openly as the media-unfriendly foe of Fleet Street – this was not a "landmark case".

IFPI, Italian police take down "Italian Pirate Bay"
A popular torrent tracker in Italy closed up shop today, handing the international music trade group IFPI another victory against P2P. Colombo-BT.org now points to a page that says, "Access denied in execution of an Italian Court Authority injunction." The shutdown came after action was taken by the Guardia di Finanza, an Italian police force that operates under the Italian Armed Forces. Unsurprisingly, the IFPI applauded the move and took it as a sign of progress against piracy online.

Illegal filesharing: A suicide note from the music industry

Now that companies are definitively moving away from the traditional Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) voice networks and into Session Initiation Protocol-based (SIP) VoIP networks, we examine the VoIP industry's most pressing issues, including SIP interoperability, TDM-to-SIP transition services and VoIP security issues.
