“‘We like everybody and the key thing is what platforms and experiences users want and how to meet their needs,’ Bing for Mobile product manager Justin Jed said,” Yagielowicz reports.
“According to TechCrunch.com’s MG Siegler, Bing has always been exceptionally good at finding porn, and its new iPhone app is no different,” Yagielowicz reports. “‘The porn results are nothing, if not impressive,’ Siegler said.”
Yagielowicz reports, “While Siegler notes that the app is rated for users 4+ years old, it is quite easy to gain access to hardcore porn with just a few clicks,” Yagielowicz reports.

Badabing Bada oooooh!
Bing Chika Bowow!
Watch it doesn’t fall off.
FINALLY…something MS is good at.
It’s been around for a while with the iPhone Porn Grid, iFap & XS. Just to name a few. Not that I use ’em or anything, yah know.
Sex sells. I guess Ballmer figured if google was the rock that Microsoft can not move. Then Microsoft could surely move skirts or for that matter they can pimp sex.
It works, if you are tasteless anyway, why not go for it.
Microsoft “WoW”, with a name of Micro and Soft! It may be all they can do is look. That may be the real reason it does porn so well. They getting Zero!
How would one go about finding porn using Bing? Mark my words, some day you won’t need Bing to find porn, it will eventually make its way to the internet and will probably be everywhere.
This is stupid. It’s basically a web browser. Why doesn’t Safari have a 17+ rating on the iPhone/iPod Touch as well?
Why are we discussing this? The interwebs are FULL of porn. Type “porn” into your iPhone’s Safari search field — not even a third-party app. No rating whatsoever. You’re gonna get hits.
This is stupid. Water is wet and search engines help you find what you’re looking for!
Apple needs to come up with a solution to filter out porn from mobile safari. It would be difficult as a parent to give one of my children an iPod Touch or iPhone without any kind of safety measures. I know Safari can be completely disabled, but there must be a better solution.
Biggest crock of shit ever spoken: “We like everybody” -Microsoft manager.
Ballmer just wants to make sure that every kid has as much “farm fun” as he does and did growing up, back in the olde day.
When Ballmer was growing up in the olde day as a kid, on the farm in the country, men were men, women were far and few, and sheep, cows, chickens, pigs, horses… walked backwards.
…”I know Safari can be completely disabled, but there must be a better solution.”
While Apple works on a better solution, you can use Mobicip. It is a separate web browser with proper parental controls. Premium version even allows you to control access rights of your child’s iPhone from any web-connected computer. Just don’t forget to disable Safari…
Eww
This app would be a huge turnoff for many folks out there if Bing if the picture of the day is a nude picture of Ballmer.
And the funny thing is, the Twitter app for Microsoft’s Zune HD actually filters out “swear” words…
I’m all for having fun as Microsoft’s expense but, how is this different from Google?
BTW – Just was is that “Private Browsing” command in Safari for Mac and Windows for?
It is only a matter of time until Apple begins selling porn at the iTunes store. People spend tens of billions per YEAR on porn and Apple cannot ignore that revenue. Sooner or later, Apple will do for porn what they have done for music and other digital media.
Stop Binging it. You’ll go blind I say.
any self respecting apple user should be ashamed to have anything connected with microsh*t on any apple device: including using bing. We want to get rid of microsh*t not support it!!!!! Shame bing users, shame.
who gives a f*ck
Microsoft has no taste or class.
I knew it. Those naughty micros people. And by the way, how Apple let an app like this past the review into app store?
Boy, do I smell conspiracy here!? >_<
Bing!
You’ve got wood!
How come Bing app is not available anymore in Canada was it remove because of it?
Bing Chicken, Bing Cow!
