No, it's purple design sucks. Google's more visually appealing.

Edit: Not to mention "Turbo 10" just sounds gay.

I agree. It seems like a decent idea, but too much like dogpile. Google still owns as far as I am concerned.

EDIT: I can't make a fair comparison at this time tho, because they have shut down the search function.

Me too, well the search function is down for me. But from looking at it, I don't think so. It just isn't as easy on the eyes as google.

Not if thier server load is too high before they even debut...

It would take a *lot* to get me to not use Google.

First off, when Google first came out, everybody thought it was a stupid name as well. Second, the GUI can easily be changed... if the search function is superior, it will catch on. But it's down for me atm, so i can't see ofr myself

If it USES google to do the searches, in a way, google won't die.

Until all their advertisers pull out.

This assumes that Turbo10 can manage to provide better searches. If it does, it will win. Time shall tell.

Google is a titanic of force that is unrivaled because of its established reputation as being the best and rightfully delivering on these presumptions!

Google will never die.

You're forgetting how Google became a "titanic force". People abandoned Yahoo and Metacrawler and AltaVista and all the others because Google worked better. If Turbo10 works better than Google it'll become the leader. Have you been on the net for 20 seconds or are you just blind to everything that happens here? Little survives beyond a short stay as flavor of the month. AirMosaic gave way to Netscape, Navigator gave way to IE, GeoCities gave way to the fact that it sucked, Napster gave way to Morpheus which gave way to Kazaa. Ho-hum. Here today, gone tomorrow and nothing is unassailable. Whether Turbo10 kills it remains to be seen, but Google will die when something better comes along.

Google search technology owns all the other engines. Many major websites implement google as their search engine, it goes deep... google will be here for a long time.
