The Great Bing Scam

Alex - You need to separate out your stock & investment column from your tirade/entertainment column. If you want to say why you think Bing will be unsuccessful, that fits in here. If you want to say things like their business plan is "trying to stick it to Google" that's just a tirade and not an analysis. It belongs in a different type of column. How do you decide when a company is following a valid business plan (flawed or not) and when they are merely trying to stick it to google? Your tirade shows that your ability to give a good analysis is too weak to be worth reading. Your column sounds more like your intent is to stick it to MS than to give useful info or analysis.

The Great Bing Scam

Let's look at this MS conspiracy theory. According to Filonov, back in 2001, MS released IE 6 with a bug that would hide until the day when Bing was released in 2009. When MS released IE 7, the bug wasn't there, but they did this on purpose ... (why did they fix it, Alex?) Now, though Filonov has no real numbers, according to the conspiracy theory, the traffic numbers can be obscured by the old IE 6 bug.
This is why MS haters have to be taken with a grain of salt. They fit every fact, or even misstated facts, into their conspiracy. Hey, wasn't that Steve Ballmer on the grassy knoll in Dallas?

Palin's Email: Publicity Yahoo Doesn't Need

Two questions:
1. Have the investigators into Palin's dealings subpoena'd Yahoo for her emails?
2. Would Yahoo be able to recover them, even if she deleted them?
