All, instead of just bitching here why not go to Googles product ideas and submit a idea to remove the background or at least give an option to remove it. Or vote on some of the hundreds of ideas that suggested the very same. http://productideas.appspot.com/#e=127061

I do the same thing here as well. Add Google as the search and delete Bing from the list. Started out as a "Just Because We Hate Microsoft" but now that the Bing reviews are out, looks like the best choice anyhow. Bob- How's come Bing Crosby hasn't come back from the dead to sue Microsoft for use of his name? Hey, if Spike Lee can sue the Spike cable channel, Bing can sue Bing............ It's not just a search engine, it's a search engine trying to profit from the good name a reputation of an early to mid 20th century crooner. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of David E.

Or, in Google Chrome, the address bar doubles as a search box - which is one less thing for customers to mess up. Heck, Internet Explorer 7 and 8 come with one built-in, and the first thing I always do when working on a customer's computer is switch it from Live/Bing to Google, unless they specifically ask otherwise. (I've been tempted to point those search boxes to our in-house Google referral link, so we get a percentage of any ad revenue, but that's kinda shady and probably against Google's TOS anyway.)
