back to article Bing boxes off mucky vids

    Bing boxes off mucky vids

    Well, there goes the extra couple of % share it gained most likely ;)

    Explicit?

    'potentially explicit images and video content will now be coming from a separate single domain, explicit.bing.net'

    That's Good Isn't It

    So, in effect, they have created a pr0n portal (explicit.bing.com), so we no longer have to go around different web sites, and It'll play them for you.

    Interestingly...
