Talk of being retro.
Microsoft is back to its form and this time they have a friend in the form of Robert Murdoch.
Apparently Robert Murdoch has decided that the content of his vast news media will not be available through Google but only via Bing. This obviously flies in the face of the free flow of information that Internet stands for. See the report here in Speigel.
Free information is obviously desirable. Failing that, I can understand redacted information available only on full payment, but this? This is downright retro.
Is this sign of Microsoft getting desperate? "Let's dominate the Internet. Whatever it takes."
In any case, after reading Taleb's Fooled by Randomness, who wants to read Wall Street Journal?
