At a moment of weakness I promised to use Bing for a month. That was a promise that even brought the connection to my blog server down: Funny Story: The day Scott Hanselman dosed my blog I would just like to say that I’ve remained true to my word and a month has almost passed. For comparison I’ve searched some times both on Bing and “the almighty”. The main issue with Bing is that the search results are smaller and less accurate than the big guys. Small wonder but still! The real question becomes if we want one almighty...

OK – so perhaps it opportunistic of me to try to get traffic to my blog because Scott Hanselman just blogged that he will use Bing! for a month. Fine! But I will try for my own reasons just to see what it feels like not to use “the Almighty”… Note: This post had a really funny side effect.

I'm going to use Bing for the whole month of June and...

Somebody explain this to me: Why is it that the marketing team at Google decided to make their new logo a Windows look alike? Is Google secretly in love with Microsoft and we just haven’t seen it yet? Or will Google make a hostile bid for Microsoft soon? This is what the logos look like in birds eye view: Too similar or just a coincidence? What do you think? Cheers, M. Technorati Tags: Microsoft,Google

Rod Trent reported all the things the Chrome uninstaller leaves behind if you try to uninstall. Håkan is thinking conspiracy. He may be right. What should Google care if Windows seems insecure? So much more reason for people to move to online applications right? But if he's not right it's a real sloppy piece of application we've just been handed! I say piece because it is just that. To release a beta is one thing but this is not even that. If Microsoft released a beta this sloppy... well do I even have to go there? It would...

It seems Chrome is not located in Program Files. There are some major implications with this! I posted last night about some things regarding Chrome: Google Chrome the good and the petty. I point out that unfortunately searches in the address bar are severely weighted. A fact which perhaps does not mean all that but it is a sad fact that the giants can't keep the competitive game above the edge of the sand box. One thing immediately got commented by my friend and colleague Håkan Reis. I thought he'd comment more on the UX bits...

Gathered up some first impressions about Chrome and also a detail which is petty by google that pretty much mangles a great UX feature they have! It's slick! It's cool! It's fresh, minimalistic and new and all that. Freshness is not bad at all. Yet... It's tabs with no frame. I'm more impressed with the cocky idea that all you need is the browser and nothing else than I am with the look and feel. It's speedy. Real fast actually. The memory footprint is not small but the CPU usage worries me. I have a...

Wow! What a great hype and such clever marketing! Way to set expectations and feed the beast! Meanwhile the landing place for this "new browser/OS wannabe" is empty: Way to get public sympathy before even releasing even a bit of the code: "As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome." Now we can stay beta for an even longer time since we were forced out the door prematurely! Don't get me wrong! I'm...
