Weekends of Awesomeness
No Stopping
This was a great weekend… One of many, I hope! Vancouver Auto show and the last snowboard run of the season at Crystal Mountain resort.
Highlights of today were going down rainier express, touching 44mph on the board(and knowing that thanks to the iPhone Allsnow app!), not having any major falls, dropping my goggles from the chairlift on first run, no stopping.
One big need identified is the hero 2 go pro !Just wow.

Weighing in on Google vs. Bing on cheating
The blogosphere is buzzing about how Google has charged Bing with cheating or copying its results. And they have proof that it happens.
1. What is the charge and what is the proof:
Google had 20 engineers use winXP machines with the Bing toolbar installed while searching for their own random search terms… and do that for a couple of weeks. and after that time – it shows up on google. ergo they are cheating.2. The Defense
The Googlers used Bing’s toolbar, agreed to the EULA, agreed to send user data back for Bing to improve its service. And since the googlers were consistently providing these ‘garbage’ results, that brought the results seeded by Google. The Bing toolbar sent that data back to Bing which used that data to improve its results and return the valid result. So, it worked.
