Bing Theme Song Video: Hires Children and Looses Some Cool Points
I have to say, I have had a growing appreciation for Microsoft’s new “decision engine” – Bing, since it came out in May. Although the straight forward results it gives after aren’t quite as relevant or impressive, it’s search suggestions and filters help you find exactly what you’re looking for quickly and easily.

Because he doesn’t quite know what to make of Google’s recent announcement to launch it’s own operating system – Google Chrome OS, preliminarily focused on netbooks. As pointed out several times in the TechCrunch blog post – How We Know Chrome OS Will Be A Hit: Steve Ballmer Doesn’t Think So – Steve hasn’t been the most accurate in his vision for the future.
