You suggested that they should have named Bing "10^1000"...

10^0 gives me 1, or 1 with 0 zeroes after it.
10^1 gives me 10, or 1 with 1 zero after it.
10^2 gives me 100, or 1 with 2 zeroes after it.

A google (actually, googol, as named by Milton Sirotta in 1938) is 1 with 100 zeroes after it, therefore 10^100.

(Or were you suggesting that it's that much better than Google?)

Google Demands Higher Chip Temps From Intel 287

JagsLive writes "When purchasing server processors directly from Intel, Google has insisted on a guarantee that the chips can operate at temperatures five degrees centigrade higher than their standard qualification, according to a former Google employee. This allowed the search giant to maintain higher temperatures within its data centers, the ex-employee says, and save millions of dollars each year in cooling costs."
