[...] The company, which hyped itself leading up to its launch two months ago, among other things boasting of a larger index of pages than Google, was met with very critical reviews. There’s nothing really compelling about Cuil. It looks destined to struggle. It’s VP of product Louis Monier just resigned. [...]

im sure that money is getting put to good use. housing, carpayments, daycare, vacation, overtime, business overhead, plumber, dentist all the things that make this country great. (consumer spending)

the people that invested that money can afford to lose it or they never would have invested. no real heartache loss. It would be worse to have that money just sitting and not doing anything. now that would be a loss.

there is alot of money in failure. failure pays alot of peoples bills. if everything in life was perfect and under control no one would need to hire you.

“Sollitto says there were philosophical differences in approach and style between Monier and the other management”

I am guessing here but I think these “philosophical differences” may relate to their claim of having indexed 120 bln+ pages which was certainly a veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrryyyyyyyyy looooooooooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg streeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttchhhhhh.
