A very sad news hit me today, when I was going through the web. Yes, to sum it up, the title of this posts says it all. Symantec has released the data on top searches by kids in 2009 and it reveals that the terms such as “sex” or “porn” was in the top 5 list. With the media intoxicating with such things in children makes such search terms acceptable to an extent in “teens.” But the following search results that Symantec has released is giving a very scary picture.

In the video below, the ex-Microsoft employee tells that he was fired because Ballmer wanted everyone to be enthusiastic when they even said “Bing”, and since this guy didn’t sound enthusiastic enough… he was fired on the spot!

December 19th, 2009 Sarosh Waiz Yahoo is still the world’s third most visited website and the company has not been doing well since quite sometime now. They have been low on revenues, have been cutting costs to increase profitability, and have also dropped in their search share. The worse part is that the company seems to have lost its passion as it has shown consistent lack of innovation. They have outsourced their search to Bing and have also outsourced all the “social plans & ideas” to Facebook recently.
