I like Bing. It does a much better job for image search and presentation than Google. The thing that will make Bing competitive with Google, however, will be the front page. Google has adhered to a simple front page with religious zealotry

That comment suggests an interesting study: how many experiments published in papers are actually repeated by other researchers. I think in computer science it is very low. I would bet that in the physical sciences it could be even lower

I'm glad somebody is excited. Not to be a downer, but I'm personnaly seeing copy-cat evolution, not revolution. The new toys just aren't going to change the way I work and play.

I'm surprised they omitted the NeXT Cube, the original Macintosh, Silicon Graphics Indigo, and the Be Box. Oh well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
