    Market Test

    There is one big problem with the market test idea, or rather giving the market test to the people accusing them of abusing their position. It's basically making the prosecution the jury. Google could promise the ends of the earth and they still wouldn't be happy.

    Thanks Microsoft.

    You just made Google rubbish, simply to match your rubbish search engine.

    Whatever happened to the ethos that only the strong survive? Google got where it is by making a really good search engine, and by using the PageRank logic. Microsoft are doing their best to destroy that, and make everything equally shit.

    This is why I never buy anything Microsoft anymore. They can go screw themselves.

        The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. `Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?' he asked.

        `Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely, `and go on till you come to the end: then stop.'

          Mandatory ethos quote:

          Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos!

          And once more, Godwin was proven right.

      Here here. Everyone that I know uses google because it gives them the answer they are looking for quickly and easily. People use it because it works! Anyone old enough to remember altavista will know that being king doesn't mean you can't be toppled. And without court cases and judges.
