Bing Versus Google

[DiamondMac]

Google but Bing has been VERY surprising for me as I have found it quite helpful in several searches that Google couldn't give me.

Big + for Microsoft

Bing for Windows.

Google for OS X due to Bing not being compatible with OS X as it works horrible with it. I wonder why?

I've just tried BING for the first time... and I liked it. It was really fast, had my website right at the top of the list (above Wikipedia's definition) in a really clear font.

I haven't tried the image searching yet. Be sure I will.

Two gripes...
1 - it opens links in the same window rather than in a new tab (same as Google so it's no worse than Google)
2 - the background picture is pretty, but it can go. It's a waste. (maybe I can turn it off in preferences... I'll try just now.)

No, Google and Bing both let you look at Porn (this is with filters off on BOTH). The issue with Bing is it allows you to play content from the Bing window, so you can watch porn right in the Bing page. That's the only difference and that really isn't much different than clicking a link in Google.

Ahhh that's it, well, I'm sure many a 13-16yo boy loves Bing

Don't underestimate how many girls look at it.
And then make their own home movies.

The main reason boys are recognized as looking at nude pics is becuase it is socially acceptable.

But thats a bigger debate then FW vs USB...


AS to Bing.
Its different, somethings better, but the page loading time is poor, and useless picture intensive (not as bad as Yahoo).
I do not want to wait.

Update: Well, I checked it out again, and it seems to be working better, quick, not too hard on rendering.

Ah-hah!

Issue No 1 is dealt with in the preferences... "open links in a new window".

That puts it one up on Google in my books.
