The author is mistaken, disease is bing with the fourth tone. I'm sure MS meant bing with first tone :)

  I wonder if that little accent-like looking thing on the ì indicates the right tone?

    In fact it does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Mandarin#Tones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Mandarin#Tones

      So this ì is Pinyin diacritic? Too bad that the accents are used in different ways in the different diacritics, it seems.

  As a Chinese, Bing.com accures to me as disease when I first saw it. I like the recursive acronym 'Bing Is Not Google' more :-)
