CBC: "The Microsoft/Yahoo search deal is so huge that when you Google it you get over 143 million results."

I'm telling you, there is so much funny irony in that quote. I have a little chuckle every time I read it.
Raven 13" MacBook (unibody) 2.0GHz | 4GB RAM | 500GB WD Scorpio Blue | 256MB 9400M
Magpie 20" Core Duo iMac 2.0GHz | 2GB RAM | 250MB HD | 256MB X1600 ATI

Clearly the search deal pales in comparison to, say, Cookies, which get 183 million hits, google at 2.3 billion hits, and even the French are more popular (despite being the most hated nationality in the world) getting 580 million hits...

Its also a little like when Bing came out and hundreds of thousands people started googling for it.

Macbook Pro - C2D 2.4Ghz / 4Gb RAM / WD Scorpio Black 320GB ( 255GB OSX v 42GB XP ) / Geforce 8600M GT 256Mb / 15.4"
Cube - G4 1.7Ghz 7448 / 1.5Gb RAM / Samsung Spinpoint 250GB / Geforce 6200 256Mb

We won! Apple offer the 17" with a matte screen! Well... at a price...

I don't really like Bing that much, it works fine, but it didn't feel like anything special
