Google accuses Bing of 'copying' its search results

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12343597

Google has accused Microsoft of cheating, following an investigation known as the 'Bing Sting'.

Google engineers created 100 nonsensical queries such as "hiybbprqag" and inserted a fake result for each.

Within weeks, the same results began to appear on its rival Microsoft's Bing search engine.

Microsoft denies copying Google and accused Google of conducting "spy-novelesque stunts".

i always wondered what google made these funny things for, then i watched the tour of thier workplace... Google-Plex. Now i know why, they seem to spend more time having more fun and games than they do work. :D

the answer to life the universe and everything is another good one to try on google. :)

I was discussing this subject at work with a few guys in the factory today, and they told me that Bing totally pwns Google, when it 'comes' to searching for the more "burlesque" websites... apparently... :eek: :o
