Fark M$, what's next flag Apple and microsoft.com too?

An accident. In the same vein as "accidentally" running someone over, and then "accidentally" backing over them again to make sure.

"This morning, after I started up the PC, a Windows Security box popped up and said I had a Security Problem that needed to be removed. I clicked on the Details button and saw that it was 'PWS:Win 32/Zbot.' I clicked the Remove button and restarted my PC. Now I do not have Chrome."

Who writes 'do not' instead of 'don't', seriously

In any formal writing one would never use a contraction.

Nice try Microsoft, I'm still not going to use bing.

Might be all the copyrighted stuff that YouTube has harbored for years while they removed homemade videos that had a 2 dB loud radio playing Kanye in the back...or better yet, a fully scientific video that had no copyrighted content at all, at the behest of someone who didn't like what the big bad scientist had to say about them...

Ed Finnerty: Chrome is spyware, though.

So is google (spyware)

Even google knows what you've been upto in fark. Right click and then choose view source on this page. Search the keyword google on the source of this page and you will how many times it appears.

Google routinely kicks any site they choose off their index. They offer no explanations or meaningful information about this process. They extremely frequently kick off sites in error or through bad filter design. They are unapologetic about this and put sites back if they want to or can be bothered. Given their almost monopolistic success in the search field this is a commercial disaster for companies affected.

So who gives a fark if similiar stuff happens to them from time to time?

Except he does, frequently and often. I have no idea if it's the script, Brent forgetting he's not supposed to use em or what but Data does use them long before 'the emotion chip'.

As if we're all stupid enough to believe it...

Whilst the wording is off there is some friendly rivalry between the various teams. Bing launches it's maps.... a Google StreetView car trundles around the Microsoft campus with a sign in it's window, I think there was the cake exchange early in Chrome's life as well; which seems to be something of a tradition. I doubt the rivalry at the director level is friendly though.

But I also doubt a mandate came from on high to actively go after Google's software on Windows... I'm pretty sure they tried that with DR-DOS and Win3.1 and it bit them in the ass eventually.

That's not even getting into the complete and utter buttshiat that is the Youtube flagging system. Human reviewed, my ass.

Hey, you used a dollar sign instead of an S to indicate the capitalist excesses of the Microsoft Corportation. That's original, clever, and edgy.

Some and some. Google (and by extension Chrome) doesn't really hide what it's up to as far as using you and your information as a revenus source. It's not as bad as say... Bonzi Buddy; although even when it was pointed out what the purple farker was doing to a machine people would still go out of their way to install the thing.

Damn, without Google what am I supposed to type Google into to get to Google?

Your ISP is spyware.

Looks like Microsoft accidentally the whole internet again.

Thanks, professor buzzkill.

I am sure it has nothing and i mean nothing to do with this Link (new window)

Black_Lazerus: I am sure it has nothing and i mean nothing to do with this Link (new window)

If you had asked me 10 years ago whether any other browser could topple IT I would have said no way in hell. Too many people are either technologically challenged or too lazy to install another browser. And I'm being proven wrong. The rise and fall of IE given the extreme advantage it has from being installed on every windows PC is astounding.

Neondistraction: not going to use bing.

Last night, Family Safety Filter blocked Bing for about an hour. So at least it's got that going for it.

Wait, you totally screwed up.....the point of his post was inform you that contractions are not used in formal writing. That doesn't mean you HAVE to use contractions in informal writing....

I just checked our Forefront logs from the past seven days, and didn't find any Google blockings... Looks like I already have the next definition version though. 1.119.2095.0.

Nobody. Not even Google. You think Google gets many referrals from Bing? I think they do not.

It's not about what it does to Google, it's about what it says about Microsoft.

Actually, Kent Hovind, Ken Ham, and William Lane Craig are more likely.

If you turn on the tracking protection stuff in IE 9 it blocks the hell out of Google as well. Which, is actually pretty much doing exactly what it's supposed to in that case.

Terrified Asexual Forcemeat: Damn, without Google what am I supposed to type Google into to get to Google?

https://www.bing.com.

It appears that it's not doing it now, but for a while there, it would redirect to the secure Google search.

I still don't know how that happened, but it was awesome.

I do tech support and I was speaking with a coworker Tuesday who had a call about that. He spent probably about 30 minutes trying to figure out why IE9 would open every other site except Google. I guess we know now.

......know how I know your coworker sucks at his job?

/30 minute to decipher that issue?
//hope he never has a networking problem to boggle his mind.

It thinks Google is malware because it is.

Even if you opt out of tracking within google, Google still tracks you, just the same.
