Reminds me of OPL (Open Programming Language) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Programming_Language that was embedded by default on the Psion Series 5mx.
I had great fun making stupid applications on that thing back in high school.

Submission + - Microsoft Vehemently Denies Google's "Bing Sting" (bing.com)

eldavojohn writes: In a blog post titled "Setting the Record Straight," Microsoft's senior vice president of online services Yusuf Mehdi addressed Google's "Bing Sting" operation saying, "We do not copy results from any of our competitors. Period. Full stop. We have some of the best minds in the world at work on search quality and relevance, and for a competitor to accuse any one of these people of such activity is just insulting." Mehdi went on to claim that Google engaged in "click fraud" in order to rig up their alleged "experiment." Mehdi added, "That's right, the same type of attack employed by spammers on the web to trick consumers and produce bogus search results. What does all this cloak and dagger click fraud prove? Nothing anyone in the industry doesn't already know." The struggle for Bing to usurp Google as number one in search continues.
