Snackbing



So I used "Bing" for the first time unwittingly yesterday. I was looking for a flight to Seattle for my friend Sunil's 24th birthday (on the 24th of July. GOLDEN) and I hopped on Amy's favorite travel site, farecaster.com, only to learn that it had been the victim of a hostile Bing takeover. It is now Bing.com/travel. It's pretty sweet. But I felt grimy using it, having been raised a Child of Apple and a Googler of all things great, including myself.

Also, awkward: googling "Bing" in a search for photos like the one above (the guy on the Bing Horizon) will actually bring you a lot of porn. Is it just a coincidence, or are the people at Google having a laugh?
