Yahooが検索エンジンを自社開発した理由:コラム（終了） - CNET Japan
by kuroyagi
"Yahooは人がやった方がユーザーの満足度が高くなるところに人を配置します。これが他社との大きな違いなのだと思います。人間がやっている全ての仕事が機械で置き換え可能だとは思いません。"

by oseres
conduct a Spotlight search for " °Tahoe" and find every tagged email message, sticky note, iCal event, etc. Pretty clever!
For added usefulness, save that Spotlight search for a self-updating reference.

compfight / a flickr™ search tool

& 4 others
Tags vs Text.
Tags are keywords. If your "tags only" results are weak use less words or use "all text" to rummage through titles and descriptions.
Tab Me
Turn your popups on. Safari users can hold the "command" key when clicking thumbnails to invoke tabbing. Tabbing is tight.
Blue Bars
Bars indicate flickr™ is holding an original. Lingering your cursor over a bar will display the pixel dimensions.
Creative Commons
Checking this box restricts your search to the Creative Commons library. Use the "commercial" setting to hunt for commercially usable assets.
Seek Original
If you want nothing but blue bars change the Seek Original switch to "only." Turn the feature completely off when you intend to wander around flickr™.
Safe Search
Do not disable the Safe Search unless you're of legal age, in a legal country, promise not to tell your mom, etc.

Vdoop - Manage your virtual cluster - Vdoop
by camel
Every day, search companies like Google download terabytes of data from the Internet, store it on clusters of thousands of machines, and process it so that it can be easily searched. To make this possible, these companies need sophisticated distributed file system and parallel programing architectures.
Have you ever heard of the Map/Reduce distributed parallel programing paradigm? If you are a computer scientist, you should have, because every time you submit a Google search, you are using Map/Reduce. Despite growing demand from companies like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, few computer science majors have even heard of Map/Reduce, let alone graduate well versed in its use. Unfortunately, several barriers exist to integrating Map/Reduce into computer science curricula. Obtaining a large cluster, configuring it, and installing complicated distributed file system and parallel programing software is difficult, time consuming, and expensive.
In the past, Google's solution to this problem has been to ship entire clusters pre-configured with Map/Reduce software to select universities. In essence, Vdoop does same thing, with exactly the same software, except for our clusters are virtual, and hence free.
