I decided to test the search by looking for information on my favourite Norwegian band, the Barbie Bones.
Search query: "Barbie Bones"
Google results: 4,300 in 0.40 seconds
MSN results: 590 in 0.48 seconds
So, Google returned more than 7 times the results in less time. Not only that, but the first results in Google are more relevant. MSN starts with results of pages that just have a minor mention of the band hidden in a huge list.
And is it just me, or has MSN copied the way Google advertised, with premium ads along the top, and little boxes on the right-hand side? It's also copied the settings section, with almost identical filtering options:
Google: Use strict filtering (Filter both explicit text and explicit images
MSN: Strict - Filter sexually explicit text and image results
Google: Use moderate filtering (Filter explicit images only - default behavior)
MSN: Moderate - Filter sexually explicit images only
Google: Do not filter my search results
MSN: Off - Do not filter search results
There's probably room for leniecy here since other search engines probably all read the same on those settings.
Sid Meier's Pirates! also has a boardgame

I remember that ages ago, it was announced that a board game was also to be created for Sid Meier's Pirates!. I've just noticed it's been out a short while now. I might buy myself a set.:)
..comes a revolutionary new device that has too many contradicting claims to be false.
When CherryOS was never released, they must have come upon another idea.. to create a product that is also available to buy in all non-existant appliance stores.
[Note: I don't claim that CherryOS and Batmax really come from the same company.]
"Let's see if the Linux community can match his generosity."
Since Bill Gates has bled the world dry, monopolised countries, business and home computers, the console gaming world and is now getting into the new Bluray and HDDVD standards, this gesture, although very effective and useful, is barely a dent in his finances, and for all we know, it's just in response to the peak of considerably bad press M$ has suffered in the past month. "Yes, buy Windows. Think of the children."
I'll concede that it's stil a nice gesture though, and his army of accountants wouldn't be too happy.

According to Colossal Storage Corp., hard-drives will never exceed a capacity of 500Gb. http://www.colossalstorage.net/home_diskdrive.htm
Any truth to this?
