I don't kno0w what beverage Champaign is, perhaps some strange Illinois brew, but the more discerning among us, might celebrate with a bottle of Champagne
 
Yesterday this Bing thing wouldn't let me see an article that MS had on the front page.Instead it would open search and say something like: find donuts near your city. The rest was working but I was kind of dissapointed.
 
I tried solely using Bing for the first few days and found myself getting frustrated. I was trying to make points to a friend and was doing some searches on 2008's Own 2 Pwn. While Google gave me many relivent answers Bing gave me 2 and the rest wernt even related.

MS says Bing is mainly for "Making Decisions" but why and I going to use another search engine just for when Im looking for a place to eat dinner?

I honestly gave this Bing a chance with the hopes that their would be some new compatition in town but alas it appears that Bing is still Live Search but with a face lift.
 
funny you mentioning leno, letterman and lame comedy bits. Conan sucks too, even Jimmy kimmel is tired now. Which leaves the scottish gay man, who is sometimes hilarious except when it comes to gay sexual innuendo. (which I just find creepy)

Oh and if you haven't seen jimmy fallon, don't. its so embarrassing to watch that your finger will switch the channel of its own accord.

[citation][nom]freggo[/nom]Please leave the jokes to Letterman and Leno!I do not come here to read lame comedy bits.[/citation]

Then don't read the fake weekend articles that are clearly marked, it's as simple as that.

that's not the point moron

we come here for REAL news, REAL reviews, and they give us this CRAP

they let people like Ben, Rob and Travis go but then they pay people to write this !

how incredibly stupid !

if we want funny, we'll go to the onion

tomshardware should be hardcore, in depth, technical news and reviews

yes, yes, yes

 
Being from St. Louis and a Cardinals fan, not to mention human, I can't say I find the joke about Bing Devine all that funny. If you want to make jokes, fine, but making light of someone who did nothing but positive things for Americas past time isn't a good way to do it.

Sorry if that sounds like I have a stick up my ass, it just tweaked me the wrong way.

I think you might want to get upset at some of the more important details in life.
 
it would be funner if you took a less blunt approach towards the story make it look real, but have weird little things that make it seem a little less believable. it is so obvious that is not true the way that you are taking these stories. Just constructive criticism

Exactly my thought!!!

Right on!

Every once in a while I come back to Toms Hardware to see if it has declined even more, and it has. Oh, for the day when Toms Hardware was a quality place to visit. I wonder where Ben, Rob and Travis are now? Probably working on some quality site, you know, with actual interesting reviews and news.
 
Well, I think bing has just come online and after the initial spike in traffic things will settle down. Right now it's not as exhaustive as google, index probably needs to be built up, but actually my own website has seen quite a bit of traffic from bing even at this infant stage.
 
Maybe the writer of this article should have google searched the spelling for Champagne... or rather just lay off the sauce for a bit. cheap gin! HA!
