Who else are they going to work with? Yahoo gave up on their
own search years ago. Right now, there are only two big names
in search: Bing and Google. You can't honestly think that
Apple would partner with Google for *anything*, can you?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In their dreams. Aren't all search engines
web-based?
So... the search engine will be local.... on the local
computer. It can't be "cloud" because that's still web based after all. So it
has to be local.
But if search is local - then you need to have all the
available data present that's out there on the Web.
And that would mean
you need some rather impressive storage area compared with the current personal
computing needs.
That puts a demand on the hard drive
manufacturers...
And of course... they'll have to make sure that storage
is small enough....
So we can expect to have drives that can store a
petabyte, exabyte or maybe even a zettabyte (although brontobyte sounds cooler)
on our desktops soon!
So that's how MS is going to bring back the
importance of the desktop!
Nah.... MS can't possibly do something useful
- it'll just be dumb luck (and a lot of perseverance from those MS
anti-competitively targets) they factored in at all.

Personally, I find Bing challenging in any context...
So, Apple is all in, for a search platform that's embedded in the OS, that
delivers awful results and ties them to Microsoft. So much for Apple
coolness...
On the plus side, apparently (per the article) its very good for finding
celebrity news, so if you need your 24/7 Justin Beiber fix, Bing has you
covered.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
