He also said he feels perhaps the rumors are true, and that Google
and the U.S. Department of Defense are already doing business. A

Google's motto: make money without doing evil
Google's corporate philosophy includes the line, "You can make
money without doing evil." "Amazingly," says Kabateck, "Google
apparently doesn't see cheating its customers out of billions of
dollars as doing evil." Class members have 30 days after Google
e-mails them a notice of the settlement (on or before May 20, 2006)
to opt out of the settlement agreement.

Sphere aims to search blogs that are relevant
The Sphere blog search engine judges more recent posts as more
relevant. It considers a number of other factors, including a
blogger's post frequency, and whether a blogger uses a word several
times, such as tickets-tickets-tickets -- again, a yellow flag for
spam. Sphere also lets you click on a "related media" button, which
provides you with news articles, podcasts, books and photos related
to the term you are searching for. But the second impressive feature
is its "Sphere it!" feature.

Five years ago, Ask.com's Steve Berkowitz acquired Teoma Technologies
In 2001, Steve Berkowitz made the critical decision to acquire Teoma
Technologies and integrate their unique approach to Web-wide search
into Ask.com. He also oversaw Ask.com’s redesign, which improved
ease-of-use and removed pop-ups and banner ads from the site in favor
of a more contextually relevant search experience. As a result, user
satisfaction has grown steadily since 2002, and the Company has more
than tripled its revenue since Berkowitz came on board.
