We know what happened to Larry and Sergei, but I was curious what happened to Scott Hassan and Alan Steremberg:<p>Scott: <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/news/life-after-google-with-millions/184389" rel="nofollow">http://www.zdnet.com/news/life-after-google-with-millions/18...</a><p>Alan: <a href="http://www.thealarmclock.com/mt/archives/2007/05/google_weather.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thealarmclock.com/mt/archives/2007/05/google_weat...</a> / <a href="http://news.cnet.com/Start-up-warms-up-personal-robots/2100-11394_3-6214965.html?tag=mantle_skin;content" rel="nofollow">http://news.cnet.com/Start-up-warms-up-personal-robots/2100-...</a>

It blows my mind that the entire corpus of fetched web pages can fit on a single midrange laptop's HD today; clustering on indeed.

From the FAQ page: "8) Your logo is upside down: Why is the light source obviously below the image? It looks quite unnatural...<p>The logo is simply a scan of my hand, from a flatbed scanner converted to black and white. The "back" in the picture is the scanner cover, and the shadows are from the scanner light."<p>But no image on the main page =( I really wish they'd archived that, too. (Says something about the necessity of making v1 look good. Of course, the web was a different place in '97.)

Is any of the data about the size of their index and so on still available? Is there some competitive advantage to keeping this secret?

Why was my title edited? It is so OG [1]. Think about it in the context of, this is my research project/company launch page. OG is accurate and should not have been stripped from the headline. Unless of course someone did this first?<p>[1] <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=og" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=og</a>

I haven't seen this before, and found the statistics at the bottom interesting.
