BINGoooooo…

Posted by Rahul Singh on Wednesday,June 3, 2009

Now..that’s a news…Microsoft coming up with its new search engine called Bing.com,nothing great in that, experts are saying that Bing is more of spruced up version of MS’s already existing Live platform. Never mind…but what caught my attention was..that the word ‘Sex’..(one of the most tabooed one in India)..is completely prohibited..here’s the message which it throws up when you just type the word “SEX” in this search engine…

The search sex may return sexually explicit content.
To get results, change your search terms.

Bing

The worst part (for parents it might be the best ;) ) is that these kind of self censorship used by MS is applicable in few countries including our own land of Kamasutra-India along with countries in middle east region and many more…Now what to say..I mean in this era..when every one is accepting that we as Indian have moved on to except the under hidden things as part of our day to day life..then why this?? I was seriously shocked when I saw this..but but but…there’s a catch again…if you are really hell bent on searching “SEX”..then no problem..simple way to do this is change the country, like change from INDIA to US or UK and turn the filter off..and then your staple diet of this three letter dish..will start flowing in…sounds ridiculous…I am still smiling..I don’t know what lies in future for Bing..but one thing is sure..that it will heat up the search engine market dominated by Google and Yahoo!..

On look wise..although not doing a review here..but I must admit that the front page is really catchy..there’s something which even I can’t figure it out..which catches your attention immediately…still in beta version, there’s long distance to cover for MS’s baby…hope to see some shaking up of monopoly of Google’s hold in market..(not because I don’t like GOOGLE, but its like I wan’t to see some change)..Interresting time to come..enjoy sexing up with Bing…BINGooooo :)

Finally...

Finally...

After two years of “Hard Work” (don’t laugh ha..)….today finally I got the news which I was waiting since ages…I passed my 4th sem MBA exam..and finally bringing the curtain down on this eventful show called ‘life at SCIT’…no more apprehension for exam result..no more slogging hard on the eve of an exam…no more looking for those shortcuts to learn a long answer..everything will only be a tale now to share sometime later in life…

It’s making me a bit nostalgic…(what’s new in that..I am always..;) )…once I heard my result…in my words..it was officially end of my student life..for some it was finally they got there value for their four to five lacs..:P…sitting in front of my desktop..staring at this mundane screen..I wonder that..is this what I was aspiring for…??? Am I fit for such a routine like a machine…really no idea, still trying to figure out an answer, lets see.

Nothing much, I just want to say congrats to all my buddies..specially my roomies..for coming out of this journey called MBA successfully…I will just pray..that slowly we reach our goals (although that’s never possible..as goals keep changing..and so is your destiny..)…what more to say..it’s been almost 48 days since I have started working…and just getting hold of things…feels like running back again to that tension free comfort of hostel room..but its all history now….never mind…the show must go on…god bless us…
