Quote:With a name like Bing, how can you take it seriously?
Exactly.
Quote:It reminds me of the old Southwest Airlines commercial....Bing! You are now free to move about the country.
It never reminded me of anything in particular, but now that you mention it, the first thing I think of (besides the search engine) is Ned Ryerson in "Groundhog Day."

I'd dare say that Google has gotten to the point at which it's sufficiently associated with quality that it's become a professional-sounding name. Yahoo! and Bing lack that luxury.
Quote:In Jr. High School, I would take a gummi bear, squeeze its ears into points so it looked like Yoda, and then I would say to it "Eat you, I will!". And of course then I would it eat.
