weird

Forgetting that the product named Internet Explorer is from a certain Redmond company, and thus has to promote other products and services of the same company, I typed in a search term straight into the address bar in an IE6 window.
I ended up on the search results page for what I typed on Bing, and noticed a link at the top right which read “Gebruik Bing om beslissingen te nemen” (“Make Bing your decision engine”).


Curious about what a “decision engine” could do for me, I followed that link. The decisions weren't all that exciting — I could add Bing as a search engine, but actually it already was the default one; and I could set Bing as my homepage — not something that Microsoft already aimed for before, with live.com, and something which other search engines do as well if they have a chance.

What struck me however, was the example bing.com screenshot used on the page — using a graphic of a puffin. Which, while not being some species of, could remotely pass for some sort of penguin.
Would it really be coincidence that they'd use this image of all possibilities, or is this a wicked taste of humor from someone within Microsoft?

I'm a bit puzzled why feedburner would be listing a blog search for Sylvia Saint as a reader of my feed earlier this week. Especially as I can't readily find my blog or feed in the search results.
(I guess this post could start bringing in search results)

Apparently she is a porn star (Wikipedia), and a prototype one at that: blonde and busty.

Ah, the things one can learn through reviewing website statistics...
