Adblock plus and host files... What are ads?
Submission + - CTR of incoming Bing users 55% higher than Google (techcrunch.com) 2
An anonymous reader writes: Techcrunch is running a story that shows some pretty significant differences in the clicking habits of users of Yahoo, Google, and Bing. As it turns out, folks who arrive at websites via Bing are 55% more likely to click on an ad than if they arrived from Google (data based on the Chitika network). Essentially, people who use Bing are far more susceptible to advertising.
Bing has acquired a decent market share in such a short time, but could it just be that they've reaped the low hanging fruit of those particularly persuaded by advertising? When their huge marketing campaign winds down, what kind of staying power will it have?

I think XP will be phased out sooner rather than later by choice. I have been running the RC on a netbook for months and have upgraded all the way to build 7264 on my desktop. It is very fast, smooth and probably what Vista was supposed to be. I have XP on another partition and have not fired it up in months... With the great looks and solid performance in Win7, XP looks like it was made for children. I think M$ has a real winner here. 2010 may be the year XP dies...
I ran Vista for about 3 months then rolled back to XP... It SUCKED!
We will see...
