Slashdot Mirror
Official "Firefox With Bing" Released
MrSeb writes "Mozilla is now distributing a version of Firefox that uses Bing as the default search provider instead of Google. Rest assured that this is a joint project, though: the creatively-named Firefox with Bing website is run by Microsoft, and both Mozilla and MS are clear that this is a joint venture. Now, don't get too excited — the default version of Firefox available from Mozilla.com is still backed by Google, and there's no mention of an alternative, Bingy download anywhere on the site — but it's worth noting that Mozilla has been testing Bing's capabilities using Test Pilot over the last couple of months, and the release of Firefox with Bing indicates that Mozilla is now confident in Bing's ability to provide a top-notch service to Firefox users. Mozilla might be readying a large-scale switch to Bing when its current contract with Google expires in November."
And you're delusional if you think someone actually cares to shill on slashdot. It's not like it isn't a common thing here though, I've been accused of shilling for very many companies just because I commented something positive about them. I must have shilled for Valve because I said Steam is really nice platform for PC games, as you can buy and download your games fast, friend lists work great (especially if you play coop games) and it is just much better done than any other platform. Obviously any sane person would think I was shilling and trying to promote DRM down their asses. Yes, because the way for happy life is to be negative about absolutely everything.
Nope, just when you use clearly prewritten content.
Shilling on public websites is big business these days. Political parties do it, the Chinese Government does it, and I am sure whoever is paying you is doing it too.
Steam is pretty nice, I love that it works so well in wine.
I find it completely awesome that the parent has been voted offtopic by the wise and fair crowd of Slashdotters. After all, what we all want here is to read again and again the same Google/Apple/Linux worshipping and not have actual discussions.
lucm, indeed.
