The company that prides itself on "Doing No Evil" isn't taking any chances with its latest executive appointment. Dan Senor, the company's new Global Communications and Strategy VP, has a CV guaranteed to have Register columnist Otto Z Stern firing a celebratory fusillade skywards from his compound in New Mexico. A former Senior Associate at the Carlyle Group, Senor was briefly Scott McLellan's deputy as White House spokesman before becoming head of the the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq's information department. The White House web site bills him as Senior Advisor to Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer III. Fox News hired Senor as a panelist in February. While in Iraq Senor showed his loyalty by going jogging in a Bush-Cheney '04 tracksuit. Not everyone is impressed. "I have come to associate his triangular, brush-cut head with an unceasing stream of bullshit. He's Ari Fleischer without the charm," writes one grump. "Hiring this guy is a repulsive move." Dan Senor - from Carlyle to Google via Fox An impressive resume, for sure, but one perhaps more useful to a company building a military task force than a search engine. And it'll be fascinating to see the reaction of the French, with whom Google is locked into some extremely sensitive negotiations, to Senor's brand of special diplomacy.

I guess Richard Perle got him this spot? I wonder what Senor will be overseer of on joogle search results...
I guess I really should figure out what search engine is a good alternative to google.
Someone suggested Devifinder It passed my tests...
For them, owning Google would be a boon. They would worm they way into Google by stock manipulation. For all the blame that Google has already incurred, the kind of change of ownership I'm talking about would make this search engine into a nightmare. www.nomorefakenews.com Interesting take. Google as a part of Carlyle.
thanks I bookmarked it and will try it; You know when we think about it this Google has become dominant, but I wonder if this dominance occurred at least partly due to extremely good media coverage. The media is like one great big giant octopus with a central brain that tells the tentacles what to do. and they favored google with publicity. This made google #1. The facts are, if some search engine gets the type of positive publicity that google got, then this means nobody's going to be able to beat google, unless google's product sucks, and it doesn't.
Yahoo and gigablast, but I still use google too.
The thing that will hurt google the most is if the internet is pinging around the globe with censorship articles...They're in a potentially tough financial postion in the future to expand and grow on one hand, and adhere to NWO sensibilities on the other. Computer savvy folks will decide...such as browser IE loosing market share to Firefox on monthly basis...
Someone suggested DevilFinder It passed my tests... Thanks Eoghan, it looks very good!
I've had good results with it...and google will be putting the nuggets on the bottom of results list soon...

In the case of Google, who cares, except that ranking and listing of information has become a cornerstone of access to what the Internet has to offer. He who ranks also controls access, to a significant degree. And as we all know, there are people who want to stifle what kind of information we can find.

In the beginning... The project was not meant to be a public service. DevilFinder was originally made to display more results from popular search engines like (Google,Yahoo,etc.) without setting cookies or clicking on the "Next Page" link. Since then, this website has grown at a fast pace by word of mouth.
