Birth and Death of Microsoft Bing

I'm highly tolerant of spelling/grammar errors, normally. Who cares about "it's" vs. "its" in this context, right? But in this case, I needed to re-read every sentence. Even after re-reading it a few times, I had to guess the author's intended meaning. That is just a failure to communicate.

Really? I did not notice any ambiguity. Can you give an example?

I could not figure out "(Don't be evil, was a joke?)".

I read it as an offhand comment to the effect of: remember when people at Microsoft thought that "Don't be evil" (and Google in general) was a joke?
