I use Google a lot but not exclusively but almost. So I was curious what the big deal is surrounding their supposed improved search engine. I did a variety of searches and compared the results with those at Google. From what I can tell the results are very similar. Time will tell if they have the know how to make it work as good as Google. [MSN]

Amazon's A9 Search Project Launches

Amazon's A9 Search Project Launches 04/14/2004 03:58 PM
Well, the story of the day, it appears is going to be that Amazon's stealthy search startup A9 has launched. Despite the original stories about A9 from last year talking about how Amazon was taking on Google with A9, A9 actually appears to just be a different interface for Google, with some tie-ins to Amazon. They're using Google's search, with a few funky additional features. First off, the search URLs are incredibly simple, as they just include whatever you are searching for. So, a search on A9 for "Techdirt" can be written as http://a9.com/techdirt. This makes it easy to do searches directly from the URL bar, as well as to pass on the results of searches. Then, of course, come the Amazon tie-ins - including direct ties to Alexa's site info results about any page and a direct link to Amazon's full text book search feature. The service also appears to record your search history to let you return to it. They also will record which sites you've clicked through, and let you know if you've already visited that site. I wonder if all the folks complaining about Gmail will now complain about this recording of search results? In the meantime, while this may just look like a new (more useful in some circumstances) interface for Google, it still raises a ton of questions about where this places Amazon vs. Google. As John Battelle points out, they may paint a happy partnership face on it - but the original story remains the same. The two companies risk becoming much more competitive... especially if Google's real goal is to become the interface for everything. Instead, Amazon has just stepped ahead of them as the interface for some things. Update: Reading more into the features of A9, there are some other funky features in the toolbar that they launched with it that I'm positive will upset some privacy folks. It looks like it's really just a morphing between a Google-like toolbar and Alexa's toolbar in that it records where you go while letting you do searches. It also lets you take notes and annotate a page, which you can then access from any computer where you've installed the A9 toolbar.

BlackBerry Thumb

BlackBerry Thumb 02/01/2005 09:09 PM

For now, you can file the 'Blackberry Thumb' issue along side the folder where you would have kept your worries about cellphone radiation, had you not forgotten them since that tumor pressed too firmly into your hippocampus. Sure, dinking around on thumbboards probably isn't exactly the optimal use of your opposable digits, but it's likely no worse than the dreaded "Nintendo Thumb" that struck down a whole generation of good typists, who now are cursed with occasional involuntary run-ons of 'ABABSELECTSTART.' Until this doctor in the UK can actually point to a documented case of someone suffering from tendentious, I think I'll keep promoting the thumbboard as one of the best mobile input devices we have ABABSELECTSTART available. (Thanks, Aaron!)

Replacing The Mouse With Thumb Control

Replacing The Mouse With Thumb Control 04/20/2004 02:00 PM
MIT's Tech Review has a short article about a new type of mouse replacement that sounds like a fairly intelligent input device that takes out much of the carpal tunnel risk by recognizing that simple thumb movements can easily designate where you want the cursor to move. So, the device is basically a one-handed, baseless joystick with a flat top where simple thumb movement designate where to move on the screen without much exertion or muscle strain. The side of the device contains typical mouse buttons. Combined with the Twiddler one-handed keyboard, and you could have quite the ergonomic solution to computer input, while also allowing for mobility with wearable type computers. Of course, as with any such devices, if the learning curve seems to be too much, it will never catch on. That may be the case with the one-handed keyboard, but the mouse replacement might not be such a big stretch.

Call it the P901, or the P1000, whatever: it's got a wee keyboard on the flip-down for those who prefer thumbing out their executive haiku to scratching at a recalcitrant handwriting-recognition system. It looks like it might be a photoshop job, but Rojas at Engadget says that MobileBurn, the source, is reliable, and I'll take his word for it. Link (via Engadget)
