Bing is Stealing Google's Search Results

That's right; Bing is stealing Google's search results. Here's how Google Fellow Singhal described how they discovered this:

"We noticed that URLs from Google search results would later appear in Bing with increasing frequency for all kinds of queries, rare or unusual queries and misspelled queries. Even search results that we would consider mistakes of our algorithms started showing up in Bing."

So, Google fooled Bing into copying 100 "synthetic queries". And whatdayaknow, these made-up words that no one would ever search for started showing up on Bing weeks later! What is Microsoft doing? Trying to prove how much they stink and how they need other companies to copy like Apple (remember how they stole the dock?), and Google?

Egypt has Regained Internet Access

After five days without internet in Egypt following a request by Egypt's government to shut down service to 80 million Egyptians because of political protests, Egyptians are back online. Though the internet came back at 9:30 in the morning today, thousands of people are still protesting. I think it would actually be good for the entire world to have no internet for a week. Here is a comment left on Gizmodo's post about this topic by an Egyptian:

Hi, I am from Egypt. The first thing I did when the internet came back was to check Gizmodo. I hate to admit that we are living in chaos because of what is happening. We spent the last nights guarding our homes from the people who escaped from prisons. Our jobs and education stopped until further notification. Yes, we wanted this revoloution to change that mess, but they passed their limits. This has to stop to save what was left.

Thanks.

So that's why Egyptians weren't visiting Tech n' Cars!
