Hmm; those geeks over @ Slashdot
(http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?.../05/28/1650226) are always
good for a nice snarky comment:

o Bing goes 'beyond the traditional search engines to help you make
faster, more informed decisions' by combining a 'great search engine'
with organized results.

Organized Results as in "higher rating the more you pay us"?

o Hum...Let' see..

* 1 - Make crappy search engine.
* 2 - Fail at taking over the world with crappy search engine
* 3 - Rebrand crappy search engine with new look
* 4 - ??????
* 5 - PROFIT!!

It's just that (4) isn't clear.

o Microsoft staggers in the general direction of where the money is.

o They change the search engine's name in an effort to draw a crowd,
then they **** it up by weighing it down with language that's awful damn
close to the infinitely-scalable enterprise class web 2.0 productivity
enhancement solution corporatespeak that makes people roll their eyes.

Dammit! Just when I was getting the Bling thing here comes another curve...
I'm just gonna give up. Get a retro bead curtain and put it in my cargo van
behind the seat.
