My spidey-sense is tingling…
I can’t say I thrilled about the idea of Microsoft automatically checking every SkyDrive files hash against a blacklist.

I just ran the top 7 stories from the front page. Bing picked up The Verge story 5 times out of 7. Google only 1.
Time for you to start using Bing!

The real question is can you use either one on the subway and not look like a total douche?

I like the Asus Ultrabook refresh.
It’s nice to see they aren’t just copying the Apple MacBook Air anymore. Actually… I think they have well and truly outdone the 2011 Apple Macbook Air.
That said, we’re going to get another Apple MacBook refresh pretty soon which I think will have to put the Apple MacBook Air back in front again.

It’s Sinofsky’s modus operandi.
He is happy to explain everything, and go into lots of detail about why certain choices were made. However he is completely against announcing anything before he is 110% sure about every detail.

They went broke and were purchased by LastPass I think.

It sounds silly but these artificial limitations are sometimes implemented for support reasons.
If a company doesn’t have the resources to test and support a product on Linux distro’s then they simply block it, essentially making the decision that no user experience is better than a poor one.

Dito.
I was going to come in and write a “WTF Yahoo” comment… but it’s actually pretty cool.

As long as they are good results, who cares?
Do a blind test and you’ll find that the quality of search results is pretty much equal between Bing and Google.

According to Thurrott this isn’t the Flash plugin as such; Adobe actually gave Microsoft access to the code for the Flash runtime in order for it to be included as a part of Internet Explorer.
More importantly, this code will only be kicked into gear on “popular Flash-based web sites that are known to meet certain criteria”.
In other words it’s not going to work (out-of-the-box at least) on all websites, just on those few popular ones that require Flash and are not HTML compliant.
I would put money on this having something to do with Google blocking Microsoft’s access to the API’s they require to create a YouTube client.
