Firefox prefers Bing than Google
Dec 16th
Mozilla director of community development Asa Dotzler – co-founder of the original Firefox project – has encouraged Firefox users to switch their search engine from Google to Microsoft Bing in the wake of Eric Schmidt’s now infamous words on net privacy.
In an interview aired by CNBC on Sunday, the Google boss insisted that anyone who worries about Mountain View retaining personal data must be guilty of improper behavior. “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place,” he said.
“If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines – including Google – do retain this information for some time and it’s important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities.”

Bing faced big issue, very bad
Dec 4th
Microsoft had launched a new search engine, Bing. Bing was created to tackle with the google, world’s number one search engine. But, recently, the bing suffered from outage. Outage didn’t last too long, but when it comes to a big company like microsoft, any kind of outage is bad. Users were unable to use Bing from around 6:30pm to 7:00pm (give or take 10 minutes on either side) Pacific time.
Microsoft senior vice president of the online services division, Mr. Satyam Nadella, wrote post on the same saying “The cause of the outage was a configuration change during some internal testing that had unfortunate and unintended consequences. We strive to maintain a high standard of operational excellence at Bing. We are running a post mortem to find out how our software and processes need to be improved to prevent anything like this from happening again.”
Looks like, Bing team is working hard to serve the best. Let’s cross the fingers for them. Good Luck Bing.
