Microsoft Urging Safari Users To Use Bing

New submitter SquarePixel writes "Microsoft is urging Safari users to switch to Bing after Google was fined $22.5 million for violating Safari privacy settings. 'Microsoft is keen to make sure that no-one forgets this, let alone Safari users, and the page summarizes the events that took place.' It tells users how Google promised not to track Safari users, but tracked them without their permission and used this data to serve them advertisement. Lastly, it tells how Google was fined $22.5 million for this and suggests users to try the more privacy oriented Bing search engine."

The scary thing is, Google is doing so many things that Microsoft starts to look like a nice company.

Gates is a lot of things but not dumb.

Of course, he is! Any moron can exploit an opportunity to create a giant empire from monopoly that fallen into his lap from dying IBM. It takes a smart person to build such empire on things other than descendants of BASIC, CP/M and some misheard lecture on object-oriented design.

Harvard students are a lot of things but not nearly as smart as people assume.

I didn't claim that Harvard students are smart (or were smart in Gates' time). Gates' problem is that he knew that each and every of his "friends" is smarter than him.
