MacDailyNews Take: Yeah, you wanted Google.
The Huffington Post reports, “Later, just before service returned around 10:15 ET, another message appeared, ‘Pardon the interruption,’ [and asked users to enter a CAPTCHA].”
“Twitter users naturally went to town… ‘Scobleizer: Wow, @bing has been down for at least seven minutes. Has that EVER happened to @google? How embarrassing,'” The Huffington Post reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Newsflash: Microsoft sucks. We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress, “Microsoft Sucks,” starring Ballmer T. Clown.
MacDailyNews Note: According to Net Applications, which measures search engine usage (along with operating systems and browsers, among others things) across their network of 40,000 sites worldwide, in November 2009 Bing held 3.26% of the search engine market, trailing Baidu at 3.28%, Yahoo’s 6.22%, and Google’s 84.91%.

How pathethic are you making those judgements against Microsoft and Mac OSX isn’t “The World Most Advanced OS” as CRAPple clamed since it goes back 20-30 years ago with the old codes of UNIX. BTW CRAPple copies more ideas than Microsoft with their fancy names attached to it.
Mactards makes me laugh.

I use Bing daily and I love how Microsoft tries to stand out from the crowed in improving their overall search results.
ps: I Bing MDN to get here.

hope murdoch’s nanny has read him the news about his new best friend.
Mr. PC, didn’t I tell you to go back and study up on your grammar a little more? You only look a fool. The worst of it is, I don’t think you can even see the errors in your grammar. Proof reading would just be wasting your time.
When it comes to decisions that matter, BING & WAIT
@Macday – Ah but Google is a corporation with interests, goals, and motivations. That company is known to want to obtain data. Your electricity comparison fails because electricity is simply something that is acted upon. It does not have independent thought, motivations, goals, etc. Besides you don’t have to surrender personal information to electricity.
But I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll help you out. You probably meant to ask what makes using Bing!, Yahoo! or Ask! any better? You’re right, not much in that they all could use your data for what ever purpose they decide upon. However my concern is ceding too much control to Google or any company with my data. Google seeks that control.

or maybe better—
Bing there, dung that.
BING = Because It’s No Good.
My Bing has gone Bung. Maybe we can get Crowded House to rewrite their lyrics for Mircosoft…

Just be sure to lift up your shoe and sniff it first…
damn recursive searches…maybe somebody ‘bing-ed’ (stupid, sounds like a doorbell- or maybe that was the plan) for ‘crappy search engine’ and bing went off on a recursive hypercycle and imploded. Awesome…nothing like a little bonfire!
Q: Why does any website running on Windows Server go down?
A: Because it’s running on Windows Server! DUH!
Seriously. In the case of Microsoft, eat your own dog food and you’ll gag on it.
[Apologies Big Als MBP! You beat me to the dog food quip.]
BING is not so bad and has its advantages and disadvantages- the birdseye view in BING Maps is superior Google maps arial view, but Bing has VERY limited street view I am not attached to one search engine or another. After all, its the information I am looking for and how I get there is irrelevant. If you really care about how the money is being spent, use Goodsearch (Yahoo) which donates money to a charity that YOU choose.
