Re:Birth and Death of Microsoft Bing on Friday April 08, 2011 @06:05AM (#2423120)
I had to do some web scraping for an application that I recently wrote and only when my app's performance started to rely on the results provided by the various search engines out there, I started to fully appreciate how good Google is. It's just no comparison; in edge cases, misspelled and unconventional searches (where it really matters) Google completely creams the competition.

While Bing came closest to providing search results as accurate as Googles it still wasn't at any comparable level, so all in all I agree with your point.

Colornazi in me has to point out that white isn't really a color, otherwise I agree.

Well ... the welcome page says

>Empty comments can be ok if they're positive. There's nothing wrong with submitting a comment saying just "Thanks."

Seems kind of weird that you'd instantly downvote such a comment, but eh, who gives a damn about karma

Complete bullshit statement, from the Facebook Hackathon where 25 of the most skilled software developers from all over the world competed:

>And all twenty-five coded atop, um, Windows machines. Facebook offered a choice of Windows or Mac, and according to Alves, no one wanted a Mac.
