"I just Binged it"....
So last night my wife was watching a show on TV and I happened to walk into the room as I heard an actress say the following phrase "I just Binged it..."
Next was a flash on browser pages and the person finding exactly what she needed.
I have nothing against Microsoft or them getting into the search engine market, but the blatant product placement just made me throw up a little.

The only real use I have for Bing is searching for maps. It works especially well for satellite images that are more clear, and newer than Google. -

It beat google to the satellite imagery thing by years, but it wasnt as complete or as robust as googles was. -

O man, I miss those days. My wife stopped watching American Idol last season. Maybe she'll pick up another show that I don't find interesting soon.Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities. -

Some shows definitely handle it better than others. In this case, though, it sounds like something that would make me throw up a little after hearing it.
Chuck handles their Subway plugs pretty well...they're obvious, but fairly tongue in cheek. The Dell servers and racks look nice, too. Luckily, the Dell brand doesn't get mentioned by the characters.
Psych has handled a few product placements fairly well, too.Help eradicate blood cancers with a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. -

Yeah but if the entire show is crap, the product placement means nothing. -

BING!
Good luck to all! -
