Move over Google, here comes... Cuil?

Well, I wouldn't call it a down-right blow to the search engine wars just yet, but it does appear that a few of ex-google wizards have developed their own internet search tool to overthrow the king.

These engineering powers, each with very impressive accolades in their own right, have come together to create what appears to be a very viable option to the mainstream google empire. Though, as with any new product entering a cut-throat market such as this one, it remains to be seen whether or not Cuil will even come close to taking a bite out of google's share of the pie.
