I will use Bing when I get older because it seems to know how to be alive in so many ways when you want to get somewhere and it is improving. But until I can do all that stuff and have fun, I really have no need for it. I can't just go see Avatar or any movie I'd like, and I can't just go eat anywhere I'd like. I'm still young and don't have a car, will be getting one soon though.

Bing's weak spot is power-searching. I can't power-search like I can with Google. It seems to me, I only need to search when I power-search. I can't get help from Bing when I do power-searches, it gives me a load of crap in return. I think that's also due to Bing never having a complete tune-up since Live Search. They improve Bing for what they want Bing to be, a decision engine. They add stuff to make it seem like the one-stop shop on the Internet for all your needs. But the search engine still isn't that great and it isn't that much different from Live Search.

Google will always be top search engine. Bing, just a fad for late 2009, early 2010.

No reason to not use google.

Really? How about the maps, where Google sucks big time.

You guys seem to forget how young Bing is. The fact that it has such positive reviews and gains share constantly, even if not in huge numbers, is really good. We'll see in 2 years what happens. For me, Google sucks big time, and not only on the search part. Google Docs is pathetic, YouTube is a mess right now, etc.

So, Bing.

I like Bing, and the results it gives out are fine for me, sometimes even better than Google. I just find it just too hard to switch from Google, like many others have said.

I also use Google Reader, which I check every time I open my browser and view my iGoogle page. I wish I could easily integrate Google Reader's feeds into Outlook 2010, then I wouldn't necessarily need Google as my homepage anymore. I haven't really done much research on it, so there probably is a way I'm unaware of.

For now at least, my vote sticks with Google.

Edit: I was able to set my homepage in the RSS Feeds folder in Outlook to display the Google Reader page, so now I can get all of my feeds directly in Outlook. :)

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
