  • kay100, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2someone needs to stop Microsoft
  • Bobski, on 06/25/2009, -1/+2Microsoft == Assimilation. Resistance is futile.

    Or that is the way it used to be. The field is far more level now. The Micro Wienies have to scratch in the dirt like the rest of us now.
  • DamonToo, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1Seeing stolen designs on the web has always made me mad but to see Microsoft doing it and doing it so blatantly infuriates me. I hope they sue. I hope they win.

    Google and Bing: Plagiarism or ... ? -

    "They always say: To copy your stuff is the best compliment that you have done your stuff very well. I wonder if Bing is trying to tell Google that."

  • kay100, on 06/25/2009, -2/+2thats very true
  • Bobski, on 06/25/2009, -1/+1No, "They" don't always say that, nor anything like that. I think what you are trying to refer to is the quote:

    "Imitation is the sincerest of flattery." Charles Caleb Colton, Lacon, volume I, no. 183 (1780 - 1832)

    Succinct and definitive. Says far more with far fewer words than that drivel you, or the blog you were referencing, were spewing.
  • Bobski, on 06/25/2009, -3/+1...fn' digg glitch - digg this comment down at will.
  • kay100, on 06/25/2009, -3/+1haha you're sooooooo funny
    do you mean Apple or Google?
  • branflake2267, on 06/25/2009, -6/+3That is lame. microsoft != innovation
  • stutimandal, on 06/25/2009, -4/+1A worthy comment from the blog itself:

    Both Kayak and Farecast ( aka Bing Travel) use the same API of ITA software with SAME Direct connects to few SAME AIRLINES AND SAME TRAVEL Agencies- thus the data results produced is similar, their accuracy as well = as to UI well, Kayak copied other travel sites colors and ideas and no one is bothered so why suddenly worrying about Bing?

    The US based searches providing same suppliers give similar results among Kayak, Bing and Mobissimo

    Try international searches and the whole ITA technology that powers Kayak and Bing does not stand!
