@arash I love using Bing as my homepage. People say it's horribly slow, but I've found it to be quite zippy (and have often found results to be [dare I say] better than Google's).
@aschettler lol im willing to say it Bing (w/Live Labs) trumps Google search completely, visual search is legit... and before anyone gets mad and downranks me for saying it just give Bing a shot for a couple days and be pleasantly surprised
@SteveyAyo I even favor their image search over Google's, especially on wallpapers. It automatically recognizes my screen resolution, and pulls in all the images in that specific size. Thought that was pretty neat.
@SteveyAyo .. Whilst Bing Maps and Images are brilliant, Bing Search is pretty crap. It needs a lot of work before it will be better than Google.
The integration with news, videos and images is poor and with Google's new search bar it offers a range of interesting ways to view the content e.g. timeline or wonder wheel as well as quick filtering by time (i use this for 90% of my searches).
@taligent umm... actually their images and video is superior a much better experience and im not sure youre making the point you thought you were with those links... Bing had images news and video all neatly organized down the page while Google just seemed to have them all scattered together
@taligent It's obvious that Google has more relevant search results close to the top of the page while bing doesn't pretty quickly from your links.
However Google have lost me by ruining their international search pages. Until recently google.com.au would have a "search australia" and "search the web" option, now it just pulls the top results from the web, and the rest are from Australia. No choice. Bing will still let me search individually, and there is a lot more in the world wide web than there is hosted in Australia!
@taligent Just remove "F1" (nobody will search for "F1 Mark Webber", everyone will just search for "Mark Webber") and the bing results are 1000 times better then the ones of Google...
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

@arash i love those little homepages, they teach me all sorts of fun facts and of course BingMaps is the best map service hands down
