M$ continues to be unable to compete on product quality so has to throw its money around to buy customers. An effective strategy for Windows-using sheeple, but will independent- thinking Mac users go along or will they go out of their way to avoid Bing? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Subject: iPhone/MS deal about to close? http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jan2010/tc20100119_759795.htm BW is saying bing may become the default search engine on the iphonecan you hear Tom scream yet? I read the forums at www.everythingicafe.com several times a day. I first heard of this default search engine thing regarding the deal that pushed Bing onto Verizon cellphones a short while ago. Folks expressed worry that this sort of change could be mandatory. It becomes most onerous when stuff breaks the functioning of the device the user has relied on. As long as the user can still select a default, (search engine in this case) people don't seem as worried. The fear is that this move is further evidence that a permanent ban on Google products might be in the offing for users who don't feel comfortable about jailbreaking their iPhones. I, for one, wish to continue having the freedom to use Google products on my iPhone and on my MBP. YMMV The value of an idea has nothing to do with the honesty of the man expressing it. -- Oscar Wilde * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
