Cuil thumbnails algorithm broken – causes trademark violations

www.cuil.com – a new search engine created by ex-Google employees provides thumbnail images next to search results. The nature of algorithm they use to determine which thumbnail to use for each search result is unclear. What is clear, is that it is broken – terribly so. It seems that the thumbnail Cuil uses next to search results does not have to come from the actual site that appears in the results.

If you search Cuil for Free Games for example, the second result lists www.CoffeBreakArcade.com with www.playedonline.com logo appearing next to it. Whatever the reasoning behind it, website like PlayedOnline can claim that their logo is being used to promote other websites.

Whether this is a byproduct of bad design or simply a bug is unknown, but my legal opinion is that there is definitely a case for a lawsuit here. Especially when you consider that Played Online, that ranks #2 in Google for the search term Free Games, isn’t even listed as a result on Cuil but its logo is used there. Another problematic fact is that the PlayedOnline logo is actually clickable and leads to the Coffe Break Arcade website.

Do you know there's so many types of furniture?

This is a great years for me. After all this years of hardworking now I am able to own my own house. I’ve been working hard all this time just to get my dream house. Me and my wife has never been happier since our baby girl came to our life. At first I thought getting the house is the hardest part, yet now I have to faced a new problems already. Its how should I get the perfect furniture for my house?

We all knew that in this matter, woman always want to be in charge for it. They will be the judged in what to buy and where to put it. It’s funny when my wife and my daughter always argue about where to place the furniture. As for me, sigh! to them I am merely the source of money to buy those things. My wife specifically told me she want a pine furniture for the dining room. I have no idea that it's hard to buy furniture for the house, they seem to know all details about it. Even she told me she want an oak furniture for our bedroom. And here I was thinking that there’s only one types of furniture and that is.....…furniture.

Things are different with my daughter. She want her bedroom furniture to be pink in color. I might as well get her rooms decorate in a powerpuff girls theme. That might be fun right?

This week will be a very tiring and busy for me. With all the shopping, let us put aside all the precious time that will be wasted on window shopping. I miss my bed already.
