Yeah, I am kinda crazy about new search engines. Yahoo!’s testing grounds, which is very similar to Google’s, was launched into public beta on the 4th. The name? Alpha. In beta. Everywhere the logo is “Alpha (beta)”. Confused yet?
To add to the confusion, they let you put in an additional search engine to search from, which would appear in a Netvibes-esque drag-and-droppable mini-window. They use a technology called OpenSearchRSS, which lets users search the search engine from an RSS feed or something…I don’t really understand it. Another thing I don’t understand is why it won’t work with OpenSearchRSS, it always says there is an error. Oh well, that’s why it’s in beta.
Another search engine I recently discovered is one called AfterVote (Younanimous). It seems like the principal is very much the same as Url.com; you search Google, MSN, and Yahoo! then rank the results so other users searching for the same thing will see the site that was what you wanted sooner.
In other news, remember that modded Mac Pro with 8 cores I blogged about way back in November? Well, Apple has updated the Pro and it is now configurable with 8, yes 8, cores. The top configuration costs more than some cars, but hey, bragging rights for the neighborhood is good too.

A Post…
After, what has it been, a week? With no new post, I kept on nagging myself to write something, so here is that something. Although it may be old, and you may have seen it already, here’s a video proving that VISTA DID NOT COPY OS X!!!1

Bittorrent goes all legal
Our favorite source for h4xxored stuff, Bittorrent, is now all legit. They announced their move to being unillegal a month or so ago, and implemented it yesterday. Similarly, Last.FM was down last time I went there, but they say they’re just cleaning out their database. You can still get h4xxored torrents from Yotoshi, but you didn’t hear it from us…

Customize.org EVO launched!
While, after seeing the “EVO Launch Sequence Initiated!” story on the front of Customize.org for 17 days, they finally followed through. Customize.org Beta, which is available to members only at this point, is a big upgrade. On the front page, the news and latest discussion is on the left, with shiny RSS buttons for the feeds, while the latest and greatest submissions greet you on the right. Popular links are on the top, tab style, and the other ones, like profile settings, sit at the bottom. Everywhere you go, tag clouds are there (yeah, yeah, I’m working on it for this blog). When you click on a preview, the background fades and up comes a snazzy Lightbox image. When you click on “Browse”, a tag cloud appears with the categories. Users can add skins to their favorites (‘Like it’ or ‘Love it’) and the like. One thing that’s really interesting: sorting skins by color. They draw the most populous colors from the screenshot, and then list them. You can search or browse by color, a very innovative method. I finally was able to upload Vista Cal 2, and another skin I made, LH Aero, and Vista Cal 2 got a comment about 1 minute after the upload! I gotta go upload a screenshot, so keep an eye on my gallery. Check out a screenshot for non-members after the break.
