Let's try this one for size: how about we look at the merit of what Microsoft is discussing here, instead of making what is essentially an ad hominem attack.
I had no idea that Google shopping results were more or less ads. I thought it was an aggregator of shopping results. This is news to me.
- ImprovedSilence 14y agoI agree here. I was un aware that google started doing this. Thank you microsoft for informing me.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoMaybe because you don't use it? There's a notice at the bottom of every page and a link that says "Why these products" with the same discloser. It's part of the reason I find this annoying, people keep parroting it and then talking about generic search results which are not involved in anyway. Whether it's intentional or a byproduct of "Google" being so widely used for different things, I don't know.
- jlgreco 14y agoI don't think anybody is saying that Google isn't being shady because Microsoft is being tacky as hell. That would be an ad hominem. Discussing both aspects of the story seems perfectly reasonable to me.
- jxi 14y agoThis deserves merit? This is discussion? For me, this page is just childish kinderganden-level "name-calling". Yes, there is 1 bit of information that is useful, but why not write an article and put it on the Bing frontpage. Did they really need to come up with "Scroogled"? I don't think this deserves merit.
- IheartApplesDix 14y agoIt might be only one bit, but it's the most significant bit in the bunch. It's not just childish name calling.
