Google is still #1 because people tried Bing and found it wanting. I did, the first day it was out.

Isn't that the point being made? When Bing was first launched Google may have had better results, but now Bing is catching up with Google and (maybe?) surpassing it in terms of relevancy. Google is slow on adjusting its algorithm since some/most/all people have the perception that it is better than Bing and since those people never go back to try Bing again, Google has little need to adapt as quickly.

Submission + - Intel threatens to revoke AMD's x86 license

theraindog writes: AMD's former manufacturing division opened for business last week as GlobalFoundries, but the spin-off may run afoul of AMD's 2001 cross-licensing agreement with Intel. Indeed, Intel has formally accused AMD of violating the agreement, and threatened to terminate the company's licenses in 60 days if a resolution is not found. Intel contends that GlobalFoundries is not a subsidiary of AMD, and thus is not covered by the licensing agreement. AMD has fired back, insisting that it has done nothing wrong, and that Intel's threat constitutes a violation of the deal. At stake is not only AMD's ability to build processors that use Intel's x86 technology, but also Intel's ability to use AMD's x86-64 tech in its CPUs.
