I don't have a lot of respect for that guy.  His argument consists of
some irrelevant accusations and reasons-to-possibly-hate-google, not
really germane to whose search engine is better.  He seems like kind of a
shill.

It sounds like maybe Microsoft is just mining associations it finds
flying by, but that is a little lame compared to people really working
at making the associations to begin with.  It is particularly ironic
in light of Microsoft's claims in its TV ads of how it provides more
relevant results than google.

Note: i've cross-posted this to plug-talk, maybe we should continue
the conversation there.
