Bing - and why I hate it
 
I'm noticing more and more websites with hyperlinks to bing searches built into them, many times they dont even look like hyperlinks until you roll over it with the mouse, then it pops up this 4" window that you cant close. For that I hate you Bing, although your ability to preview porn before I start streaming it is pretty cool

I HATE Bing...I just got my new blackberry last week and the search engine built into is Bing. It won't let me change it to google either, so I bookmarked it instead. Google is just so much better.

Yep...Mine's the 9330. It literally JUST came out (although, I can't see much of a difference)...

OSP has the same one and he got his a few months ago too...he says his default is Bing too...:idk:

A few Verizon smartphones are Bing only now....its what steered me to get another Incredible instead of something else. You have to root them to use the Google stuff....crazy.

The only thing bing is good for is the porn viewing feature on their video search engine. Combine that with incognito mode on chrome and its a great way to watch some pretty fucked up shit.

Gas Man 01-07-2011 09:36 PM

It is... Verizon holds you hostage to Bing!...

Gas Man 01-08-2011 10:01 AM

And then they charge you more $ as well.

My Torch has Google as default but it also lets you change it...Although Bing is not on the list.

Gas Man 01-09-2011 09:17 PM

Mine from the "GO TO" screen has the ability for
google
yahoo
live search
wikipedia
dictionary.com (I have an app installed that might have put that there)

That's cause it didn't say your name asshat!

It's not just Bing!, but Yahoo and Google also. It seems that every time that I install some piece of software, be it Adobe Acrobat, a skin for Firefox, or the latest version of Messenger, someone is pushing their toolbar and search engine on me. All that it takes is a moment's inattention to end up with my search preferences all screwed up, and more real estate on my desktop taken up by someone else's shit.

It's bloody ridiculous and this "opt out" model has to be changed to "opt in", before I decide to go running through a software house swinging a machete.
