Bing is the latest version of a search engine developed by Microsoft. Microsoft was developing and testing for the last couple of months a search engine with the name Kumo which in Japanese means spider or cloud. Kumo was of course just the code name for what would become eventually Bing.

Search is very important because 1% of the search market is roughly worth 1 billion dollars. This means that the number two player can make some decent money. Microsoft doesn't have to become number one but they need to just grab around 30% or so and they are in good shape. Since Bing was launched...

GIVE IT BACK!! Please.

I decided to do a little test on one of my machines with the three browsers I use most. In each browser I opened up Gmail, Google Reader and CNNMoney.

I did this on Friday and did not look at the memory usage until Monday. After a little less than 3 days, we get the following numbers

Most things work. Except for the checkbox. Somebody made a mistake and it renders the checkbox as a radiobutton but I’m sure they will get that fixed one day.

First, I would like to ask myself why do we need another browser? Well, because competition is a good thing. But is it really competition and from who will it steal the market share? I’m pretty sure it will steal from Firefox and the other lesser used browsers, because those are the people that actually take the effort to install something different than Internet Explorer.
