Slashdot | Bing Users’ Click-Through Rate 55% Higher Than Google Users’.

Yep, all the sheep who see bing advertised on Tv are the ones that would click through.  The Bing “search engine” yes, it’s not a fucking “decision engine” is a pile of crap.  And whoever designed the UI needs to have his eyes gouged out with a spoon… but then again it is a Microsoft product so we can’t have too high of expectations.

New Intel Xeon Chips

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Intel released their new ‘Pynron’ chips over the weekend, new Xeon Quad cores that were supposed to be much smaller (45nm) and use a lot less power and I was looking at possibly using them in future servers and virtual servers however Intel is still a waste of juice… the lowest end Xeon Quad Core uses 120W of power … the highest powered AMD Opteron Quad Core uses 55W…. thats a hell of a difference….  I don’t care if the AMD is slower (and not by much), it’s still 4 cores and over time 55W is saving a lot of money in power than using 120W processors

Come on Intel… I’ll stop using AMD when you actually put out a efficient processor ;)
