Follow the $714 story link and see

"Microsoft began bribing people to use its third rate search engine"

on this page it's

"Microsoft began bribing people to use its second rate search engine"

That's a 33% improvement!

Next time it'll be first rate, just you wait and see.

Hmmm. I notice that the search engine was described as third rate when the linked post was made, but is now described as second rate. Has it really improved that much?

Well the good news for Microsoft is that el Reg think it is getting better - it was a third rate search engine in the ebay cash article now it is only second rate!

Should have used a Linux based back end :)

Yeah me too for that third rate/second rate thing - well funny and that. Gets better each time you hear it etc

So I'm picking nits. Whatever. http://www.snopes.com/holidays/thanksgiving/shopping.asp

Of course all the people who call it 2nd or 3rd rate seem to be in love with Google's spam-filled effluvia. Try doing searches (yes, more than one you ADD-sucking freaks) on both sometime and see what you get - open up your microscopic nit-brain sometime, Gootards! PH=YOU!
