So run the older version and take the security hit. Google updated the kernel to make or more secure, why shouldn't they use that new feature?

The BFD is that multiple search terms that only exists because Google fed them to bing via fake searches ended up on bing's search. Bing is copying search results because they can't compete otherwise. Anyone can make a search engine that returns results from popular search queries, it's very hard to make a search engine that returns results for one off queries. Since Bing's algorithms suck they just copy query results from Google. If you read about this you would see that google has something like 9 examples of blatant copying. The tarsorrhaphy example was just the search term that let google know there was a problem (bing gave the right result without stating that it was a misspelled word and there were no links with that misspelling on the internet).
Ray Kurzweil Responds To PZ Myers 238
On Tuesday we discussed a scathing critique of Ray Kurzweil's understanding of the brain written by PZ Myers. Reader Amara notes that Kurzweil has now responded on his blog. Quoting: "Myers, who apparently based his second-hand comments on erroneous press reports (he wasn't at my talk), [claims] that my thesis is that we will reverse-engineer the brain from the genome. This is not at all what I said in my presentation to the Singularity Summit. I explicitly said that our quest to understand the principles of operation of the brain is based on many types of studies — from detailed molecular studies of individual neurons, to scans of neural connection patterns, to studies of the function of neural clusters, and many other approaches. I did not present studying the genome as even part of the strategy for reverse-engineering the brain."
