what how god how do you think corporations work? do they have magic money trees? we, in conglomerate, purchase THQ, give their games away for free and then what, fire all their developers, close all their studios and sell all the buildings

i use bing because they basically give you money to use it. (bing rewards -> amazon gift cards -> weeeee). It works out to like 2.50 a month at most, so it's only worth it for penny pinchers, buuuuuuuuut, for just switching search

I mean, there was the whole thing about the novo7 going for 99$ yesterday. It feels like it's only going to be a short time before 99$ tablet opportunities are everywhere.
