| What’s this crap ? It’s obvious that Microsoft didn’t payed those guys.
| (well.. maybe the first :-P ). But why Windows came up as a suggestion for
| the Linux search, and why the first two posts talk respectively about ‘Linux
| being inferior to Windows’ and ‘the issues in switching to linux’ ?.
|
| If I were to think bad I would think Microsoft did tweak the Windows keyword
| to have more relevance than the others. Hyperlinking and pagerank would do
| the rest.

| This is just too good. One of the features of Microsoft’s just launched Bing
| search engine is that it auto-plays videos in results when you hover over
| them. Naturally, the first thing a number of people, like Loic Le Meur, did
| was search for “sex” or “porn.” The results are majestic — if you’re a
| teenager looking for a way around porn filters on your computer. And this
| isn’t artful porn or something like it, it’s straight-up, hardcore
| pornography.
