Ballmer must be seething with rage. Everyone is talking about Google Wave and nobody is paying any attention to Microsoft's Bing. Perfect timing of Google :-) |

Quoting:Bing? Is that like squirting? Well, it's supposed to be a better name for Kumo. Does nobody here follow Microsoft news? Am I really the only one? Ouch, that makes me scared. I'm outta here. |

I don't like MS' marketing, it's always creepy. Like the pervy blue butterfly guys invading people's homes. Like Bill and Jerry invading people's homes. Etc. |

Ah, I'm starting to take this thread seriously after I watched the 1,5h video presentation of Wave. Compared to Wave, Bing is peanuts I suppose. Even announcing only Rosy (which received the 3 minute applause) would have been a larger event than Bing. So Microsoft made Kumo / now Bing, and in the same amount of time Google made Wave. If I were MS shareholder, I'd worry and sell. Or kick out the darn incompetent management; because I suppose there are some good devs at Microsoft. Nah, forgot, the management _are_ the shareholders. That's a receipt for corporate failure. Back to Wave: Could we implement it in LXer? Would be nice, given its promise of more effective flamewars. |

>Bing? Is that like squirting? It sounds icky. You got it so Zune. I'm impressed. |

Zune had to be renamed in Israel. Apparently it's a really strong profanity in Hebrew. |
| Sander_Marechal May 29, 2009 7:59 PM CST |
Yes, in Hebrew it translates as "F*ck". Also, in French-Canadian is a euphemism for penis. Somehow both are very fitting for the Zune :-) |

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bing bing: meaning prison or jail |

Bing and Zune means what can also be called "Bang". Why is that fitting? |
