Bing.com no gentlemen when you run Opera web browser
,----[ Quote ]
| Hello, Mrs Kroes, …! It reminds you so much of the old DR-DOS tricks but this
| is even more silly for a new search engine which was supposed to get it
| right. One of the best and most popular web browsers, Opera, is not
| supported? Surprisingly everything works seems to work fine anyway when you
| select “Go to the map using this browser”.
|
| The map service looks great, but it is not fully translated yet into German
| language. Additionally to the usual satellite images it adds a bird view
| perspective. I am from Germany’s largest navy port and I am quite surprised
| that you can get detailled bird view pictures of our military facilities. In
| the real world signs scare you that they may shoot at you. And if you take
| pictures, the police might be very interested in your identity and your
| actions may be interpreted as a criminal offence by a court.

| Microsoft can attempt to be a sumo with Kumo, have a fling with Bing, but in
| search Google will remain king. Ouch - sorry about that, it's late at night

More Microsoft Live Search Bribery
,----[ Quote ]
| Just using Microsoft online services isn't enough to get your ticket punched,
| though. You must run Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher) when you use those
| services. Even visiting getsearchperks.com with Firefox or Opera is a futile
| exercise; you will have to start IE to see what goodies the site has to
| offer. Oh, and if you sign up you'll have to install the Perk Counter toolbar
| to let Microsoft keep track of your tickets.

A Microsoft Midlife Crisis?
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Microsoft undergoing a midlife crisis? The software titan's recent mergers
| and acquisitions track record suggests as much. In an attempt to keep up with
| Google and other Web 2.0 stars, Microsoft looks as if it is getting pushed
| around at the bargaining table. The latest act of profligacy came yesterday
| when it paid a whopping premium to acquire Fast Search & Transfer for $1.2
| billion.
