Bing and gone? A Microsoft car/engine? Yusuf Mehdi conjures up a disturbing thought
Yusuf Mehdi. Ring any bells? For me anyway the name certainly didn’t spring off the page for me, but then even Microsoft’s desperate (and repeated) invasions into the commercial breaks of my TV viewing with that Bing advert have failed to spark an interest in a search/decision/whatever engine that Microsoft have produced. For your information … Continue reading »
