Cuil Proves the Bubble Is Back 496
MattSparkes writes "Cuil may only have launched this week, but it seems that they're already enjoying late-'90s boom-style comforts. 'Lunch is ordered in every single day. Huge fridges burst with snacks and drinks. Bowls of strawberries and muffins lie around the rest area. The company pays for a personal trainer and gym membership for everyone. A doctor calls round each Friday, after the weekly barbeque, to see if everyone's in good health. Employees drift in an out at times that suit themselves.' Seems like an awesome place to work, but how long will their $25 million VC funding last at this rate?"

Posting AC because obviously I don't want my current or past employers or coworkers to somehow get word of this and get pissed off at me.
Or, for that matter, my... er, I mean your future employers or coworkers

Plus, how much does a bowl of strawberries cost?
The strawberries are cheap. The 12 female naked virgins that serve them to you body-shot style are what costs.

Too bad their search engine sucks... I searched for: homepage, and my homepage wasn't in the results. Contrast that with Google, where my homepage is the #1 hit.

But I suspect /.ers don't have that kinda cash on hand.
But they could easily get some. Not legally, but round off a few fractions of a penny to a bank account and if you get caught, the worst they would ever do is they would put you for a couple of months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort! Shit, we should be so lucky! Do you know, they have conjugal visits there?

Cuil: a man pulling on his penis
So, the moral of the story? Misspell something in google and get relevant data. Do that to Cuil and you get a penis.

That might be what your problem is: it's not supposed to be yielding wool.

Actually, I think it's hilarious that your query returns a googlewhack: a link to the very comment you replied to. Pretty impressive.

-Push the beds together tonight.
-Stop playing games until the wee hours of the morning. Try going to bed at the same time as your wife.
