off the Hook - 911s Chief Lotu...

With all the publicity (OK, TV ads ) I've seen about Microsoft's new search (err... "decision" ) engine, bing.com the past couple of weeks, I finally gave it a try today.

The query on my mind happened to be the $99 iPhone 3G. So first, I typed "$99 iPhone" into bing.com. The top result was a link to a "Boy Genius Report" article from December, 2008 (that'd be six months ago ) SPECULATING about a $99 iPhone. The rest of the results weren't any better.

Then, I went over to Google and searched for "$99 iPhone." The result? A link to an apple.com page actually describing the $99 iPhone and how to get it (otherwise known as "What I was looking for" ).

The only "decision" bing.com helped me make is not to use it. Don't get me wrong, bing.com does have pretty backgrounds that change every day for those that don't have a screen saver already doing that for them.

P.S. This humorous video pretty much sums it up too.
