Kernel is on a distinguished road
Default Creator of First Computer Virus to Take On Google
Rich Skrenta, who created the first computer virus (Elk Cloner), co-founded the Open Directory Project, and co-founded online news site Topix, may have bitten off the biggest challenge of his career - taking on Google. In search.

The Elk Cloner virus is one of the first known microcomputer viruses that spread "in the wild" which was created for Apple II systems.

This could be the next big search engine which may turn out similar to what Google done to Yahoo, Excite, Lycos, etc.

Quote of Skrenta: "PageRank wrecked the web. Google is the cause of all of this. and Google is going down with it.”

Interestingly enough, there seems to be two other search engines trying to take on Google:

No telling. If they come up with better results faster (like Google did) they may. Google started off with no financial backing as a simple project. Check Google on the way back machine.

It's gonna be hard, but if they find some new way to come up with better and faster searches, like Jordan said, then I think they've a chance.

What faster results you want? It takes google a split of a second to give you more than a million results.... or I'm missing something?

Think of 10 million results in a fraction of the time Google takes with more relevant links. Since it will be hard to beat that (and to little point) it will probably be something else such as results with user comments and/or some other form of interaction.

And what can make it faster? The code or the servers?

Yes, both - look at Cuill:

Cuill is a stealth search engine startup which claims that it can index web pages significantly faster and cheaper than Google. Cuill has told potential investors that their indexing costs will be 1/10th of Google’s, based on new search architectures and relevance methods.
