18.9.2009Microsoft updates Bing to stop free porn
Microsoft has already updated its new search engine, Bing, to halt complaints from network administrators about the video clip preview feature. Built
into the search engine to give it the edge over its competitors, the feature allows users to search for videos, hovering over the video to get a small
preview of what the user can expect to see. This has upset a lot of network administrators who want to block sexual content from being watched in the
work place. Bing has been updated with stricter filter options that disable video previews, but as a temporary fix, Microsoft has released a string
of code for administrators to enforce the strictest search settings.

31.05.2009Bing cashback exploit discovered, Microsoft sends in lawyers
A Bing cashback vulnerability has been discovered by Samir Meghani of the Bountii Team. The flaw exists due to a software API oversight that allows
users to fake transactions to Bing. Currently, Bing does not detect these faked transactions. The flaw affects both the customer and merchant.
According to Samir, in his original posting, "merchants have a few options for reporting, but Bing suggests using a tracking pixel. Basically, the
merchant adds a tracking pixel to their order confirmation page, which will report the the transaction details back to Bing." Samir detailed that the
process was flawed but didn't pin point exactly how to generate fake transactions. Bing Cashback is an initiative that pays people to search with
Bing.

Everybody knows about Microsoft's recent re-branding and re-engineering of Live Search, Bing, and how it has recently become available for the
public to use. There was certainly a big fuss kicked up over this; there was an immense amount of speculation about 'Kumo' beforehand, and
many people had their own ideas on what it could be. Now that everything is cleared up, the initial launch hype has died down a bit, and the rumors
are gone, the question remains... how will Bing do against Google? Or, perhaps just as importantly... how do Google feel about it?

Microsoft releases MP3 Bing ring tones for your mobile
You may have read the title and thought this was a joke but I kid you not, Microsoft has released a pack of 3 ring tones where people say the word
bing in a rapid and alien-like fashion. The pack is available at Microsoft's download site. All 3 tones try to create a ring tone like sound but
the word bing repeated over and over is slightly alien-like. Bing is Microsoft's latest search engine which has some fairly amusing and catchy
adverts associated with it. The search site has come under fire this week, being branded as a "porn portal" by some for how easy it is to acquire
pornographic video.
