Surely, (due to their poor laws upon humanity), China beats everyone.]]>Jan 20th 2010 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
(Disclosure: I like Microsoft and Apple, and I believe they have both enriched our lives. But I also like a competitive and vibrant marketplace.)]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
Everybody beats Microsoft.

Google - 67.3%
Yahoo - 14.4%
Bing - 9.9%

Microsoft: 2nd place here we come... because we force people to use us!]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/Jan 20th 2010 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
He might be referring to lousy iPhone sales in China. That would appear as a beat down to me.]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/

Yeah, that makes sense.

Microsoft: "oh shit, our side project search engine is coming in behind google and yahoo! We must do something about this! Quick, take all the developers off our 80% worldwide market share OS, and our 75% market share Office suite! We must be the number one search website!"]]>Jan 20th 2010 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
I bet more than half the time Bing is used... is because people realize that they are at an unfamiliar site and as a result they bing Google. So that they an get there real search on. I bet what gets searched for the most on bing IS Google! It would be funny to see a list of the top ten searches.]]>Jan 20th 2010 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
Google needs to get its act together with their searches. Almost every time I search lately, ALMOST EVERY LINK I CLICK ON IS CHOCK FULL OF GOOGLE ADS WITH NO REAL CONTENT.

What it comes down to is that Google wanted a handset platform that was more free and open than what was available at the time. Had they waited a bit longer, I think they could have simply worked with Nokia's Maemo or Palm's WebOS instead, as both are very open platforms, but they already had Android cooking, and the first Android phone beat both WebOS and Maemo to the market by over a year.

Remember, Apple is VERY restrictive of what type of apps they allow on it. I'm sure Google would love to release the same apps on it as they did on Android... oh wait, they already tried that with Apple, with Google Voice, and were rejected by Apple for garbage reasons, which started this whole feud between them in the first place...]]>Jan 20th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
I can't believe Apple is going top get in bed with MSFT. I need to go take a shower.]]>Jan 20th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
The Google ads are easy to ignore. What's getting distressing is the amount of spam in the actual search results. It's getting to where I want to neg out common spam keywords such as "-free" in with every search.

His statement about Google using Android to get search business was not his theory, Google said it when they launched Android.
1% of the search market is worth $1 Billion a year you do the maths.]]>Jan 20th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
Of course if Microsoft wants to drop $500 million to make Bing the default, like they did for Verizon, well...all bets are off.]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/1999/01-05apple.mspx]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/This wouldn't be the first time.

I'm not hating on Microsoft. It's just that they seem to be forcing themselves into everything.

I have a Bing App that was installed on my Blackberry... without my consent. Can't I be mad about that?

If Bing is so good... then it shouldn't have to strong-arm itself into our lives. The cream should rise to the top... it can't buy its way there.

There as a time when Google was nothing more than an experiment. Look where it is today.]]>Jan 20th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/Jan 20th 2010 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/

A "bung" is a wooden or cork stopper used to close a wine or other alcohol barrel. It's where the term "bung hole" comes from.

"Bunging" is synonymous with "plugging", and is correctly used in this case. ]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/Jan 20th 2010 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
"Pig bungs.
After the bungs (terminal end of large intestines, i.e. the ends of the intestinal tract starting from the anus) are pulled free from their setting, they are stripped under a spray of water which washes away the contents. The bungs are soon afterward slimed, inflated for grading and thoroughly salted.

Pig bungs are 1 to 1.5 m in length. Their diameters vary from about 30 to more than 50 mm. Pig bungs are primarily used for liverwurst, cervelat, dry sausages etc."]]>Jan 20th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/apple-bunging-bing-search-into-iphone/
