Bing Crosby, Carmella Bing or Bing cherry?
In my search for “add url to Bing” one of the first things that came up where Bing Crosby and Carmella Bing. This made me wonder where the name Bing came from. Perhaps some programmer at Microsoft was thinking of one of the two Bing’s and a widely cultivated large sweet cherry having glossy dark red skin and firm juicy flesh and came up with “Bing cherry“. It is a pity he forgot to implement “add url to Bing” after searching for images of Carmella Bing. Microsoft indicated that the name Bing “was memorable, short, easy to spell, and that would function well as a URL around the world” and reminded people of the sound made during “the moment of discovery and decision making.” but we know better….

We can use IE again !!
This week we had to use Firefox or just go back to reading books to avoid being infected via the critical vulnerability found in almost all Internet Explorers. Today Microsoft released Patch KB960714 so we can stop reading books and use the Internet again.

Money from the clouds
Microsoft seems to expect to make way more money than 1 billion dollar per year from cloud services. That is why they will set up 20 new super big data centers over the next 20 years. Debra Chrapaty, Microsoft’s VP of global foundation services, speaking to the US media, said “We’re going to reinvent the infrastructure of our industry.” When you run everything from the 20 big datacenters how smart is that?? If 10 datacenters are bombed or taken over by kids smarter than the sysadmin you can’t fall back on backup datacenters. It seems to me that you need at least 1000 big datacenters and some form of TBS. This is also why I think lots of OpenSignOn servers are better than one big super XSall server. Anyway this shift to the cloud is a very interesting development. More about it on this blog.
