My first experience with bing, I'm looking for the BStc0380 datasheet, so I look for:

BStc0380 datasheet

bing gives:
4 irrelevant results of the same site!

google gives:
35 result, including the maybe a bit obvious:
www.datasheetarchive.com
which had a datasheet of the component.

I'll stick with google, no doubt.

This is all forgetting one thing - Chrome. Google searching from the address bar, doesn't get much better than that =] Maybe if Microsoft figured out how to make all their services play nicely together...

Doesn't pretty much every decent browser allow for searching from the address bar these days?

i did a solid week with only using bing. it wasn't good. one of the main uses of google for me is to quickly look up a simple fact. with bing, i will eventually find it after clicking a link and reading. google excerpts the exact part of the page that i need for the summary, so many times i don't even need to leave the search results page.

Simple google is the institution, people dislike M$ on principle so nothing is going to change!

I'll continue to use Google because apart from the search engine, I use its other services like GMail, Docs, Picassa, etc.

just don't see people "binging" things it shell be forever known as "googling"


Agree totally, once something is stuck you really have to do something major to break the cycle. Take the Walkman for instance it took the iPod to break that cycle & that was phenomenally better then the Walkman i don't see Bing as anything better then google just the same.

I have discovered a flaw in Google.

Search "green car" and set the orange filter.

Yes you have just broke Google.

As I hardly ever use the search from google.com/co.uk/whatever I couldn't care less about how it looks.

As long as Google delivers I'll keep using it. Yes, it really is as easy as this.

How could you have left off video search in Bing? It's amazing and google does nothing like it. And I love the scrolling images on bing. Having to use cooliris to get similar results in google is a pain as it asks to be opened on far too many other pages I frequent.

cars with orange pain jobs

There's no chance that I'll be switching from google until it someday closes.. I've been using it for just too long.

The author of this article does not know how to write. There are too many obvious grammatical errors to even think about copying and pasting into this comment. Does anyone even read these articles over before posting them here? Hell, even the article summary on the main page isn't well written. Starting off both of the first two sentences with "After"? Find a thesaurus.

His idea of humor is taking digs at people, who probably happen to be a large portion of this site's readership. According to this article, you are an idiot if you don't want the most popular smartphone, and I have never experienced good food as I've never been out of America (although the editor tried to save face on that one). Also, I'm sure Mark had nothing to do with this, but why does the graphic on the main page for this article look like it was made in 1997?

is its name, I'm just a sucker for recursive acronyms:

Bing Is Not Google

:D

On a slightly more serious note, unless Microsoft are going to pump billions and billions more into advertising and basically buy our search queries from Google, I really can't see bing getting close to parity with Google, because as someone else mentioned, Google is now a verb.

Take Xbox for example, MS have spent 25B+ to get to the point where they now can maybe start making a profit from all the loses they have taken, but they are going to need to be profitable for a very very long time to recoup their investment. Just ask Sony how easy it is to screw up in the console business.

In both cases (search and gaming) MS don't have the comfort of a monopoly like they do with Windows and Office.

I just love the way Bing links off to YouTube - A Google product.
