And while I did write about it, I don't use it. And I won't unless we can work something out with them that guarantees that they will not take us down the same path Google did. I don't see the point of endorsing a successor to Google, if it just takes us down the same path again.">

If someone built a search engine that was significantly better than Google on the desktop, I &lt;i&gt;would&lt;/i&gt; use it. But I also consider who's invested, and what their likely direction is, based on a lot of factors. It's not enough that it works well today, it also matters what it's going to be like in the future."></outline>

			<outline created="Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:19:52 GMT" pgfnum="12525" text="I use Bing on my iPad, and still use Google search on my desktop. Google for some reason decided that I need a special mobile version of their search engine on the iPad. That's crazy. It's got a full size screen. All they did was add a lot of whitespace. It's like building a car for the tropics with an industrial strength heating system and no air conditioning. Hello. If anything you'd want to &lt;i&gt;reduce&lt;/i&gt; the whitespace on a smaller screen. But the brilliance of the iPad that software designers generally refuse to recognize, is that it has a no-compromise web browser (except for the still-irritating omission of Flash). Find other problems to solve. This one doesn't need solving."></outline>
