You can read http://donttrack.us/ for some more info. BTW, there's also YaCy which is very different from duckduckgo because it's distributed, not centralised: https://fsfe.org/news/2011/news-20111128-01.html Hi cybervegan,

I don't see how Bing and Free Software could work well together - am I missing something? Hi Hugo,

just wondering why one would want to have duck-duck-go as your search engine, as it uses Bing as its backend (or so I heard)?

I don’t see how Bing and Free Software could work well together – am I missing something?

They cost even more money and... there are not faster... so whats the point of buying one of them? I think no one expected such an improvement in the iPad 2... I think people seems not to bother much the Flash issue... and yes, what I see is that most people will make IPad and iPhones compatilble websites. I agree... Flash sucks big time and someone should said that... Steve said it, and I'm with him on this...! And by the way... Flash websites suck your battery life as crazy. See the tests on MacBook Pro Air battery life tests on the web... with Flash on it last from 10h to 3 h. 1/3 of battery time... So... no one talks about it, but for mobile devices battery life, Flash is just not good...!

They decided not to go with flash and they're on top of the tablet pc market. We shall see if tablets like the <a href="http://top10tabletpcs.com/blackberry-playbook" rel="nofollow">Blackberry Playbook</a>, the Xoom or the <a href="http://top10tabletpcs.com/htc-flyer" rel="nofollow">HTC Flyer</a> can get closer to the iPad in sales by the end of the year. I highly doubt it but I guess we shall see. The consumer has shown great loyalty to Apple products. Apple gambled and they won.
