I’ve been using for sometimes now a new search engine called Scour. In fact it’s a metasearch engine combining the three most used search engines: Google, Yahoo and Live/MSN Search into a single aggregated search page with social concepts. With Scour, all three engines are searched all at once for you, with the results returned quickly on one page. The speed and quality of results are outstanding! In fact better then any of the 3 major engines alone. You need to try it.

Not only the results are great but Scour rewards users with a point for each unique search conducted through the Scour Toolbar or at the website, as well as for commenting or rating a result. Points can also be acquired through use of its affiliate program, with a matching 25% commission given to the host of the referral. Once users have accumulated a certain amount of points they can be redeemed for a Visa gift card or PayPal money transfer. You get paid to search the web!

Scour sample search

Every Scour member is able to vote each listing up or down based on its relevance to their keyword as well as comment on their experiences with the site. It’s working to evolve search and deliver a much greater value to the User.

Also for the next 3 months, Scour is going to give away $1,000 to one lucky user each month. That’s right, 1 Scour user will receive $1,000 for searching on Scour. All you have to do is conduct your normal searches and Scour will award you with 1 Scour entry per search.

A study commissioned by a phallically named insurance company proves beyond all doubt that the unbridled roar of an Italian supercar turns women on but the soft purr of a fuel-efficient econobox doesn’t stimulate anyone’s MPG-spot.

David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff — a measure of their arousal — after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the charts.

The econobox, however, left everyone colder than a January day with 4 feets of snow.

The study was commissioned by the ultra-exclusive British insurer Hiscox (I swear we’re not making this up), which was curious to know how people respond to high-end luxury cars. “We knew owners of luxury cars felt a connection with the sound of their vehicles,” says Steve Langan, managing director of the insurance company. “We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel when it comes to cars.”

To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati. The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini.

“We saw significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body, particularly in women,” Maxon says, noting that even women who said they had no interest in cars were turned on. “Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a primeval physiological response.”

As for the Polo? Everyone had less testosterone after listening to it. That means the acceleratus interruptus of a Prius going all-electric in traffic is automotive equivalent of skin flicks starring previous secretaries of state, despite General Motors’ claim that nearly nine out of 10 women would rather talk to a guy in a hybrid than a Porsche.
