    The Coming Search Engine Media Wars

    Microsoft Let NSA Spooks 'Enhance' Windows 7

    A National Security Agency director just bragged to a Senate subcommittee about his agency's close "cooperation" with Microsoft to, err, "enhance" how Windows 7 guards a user's privacy. Doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy? More »

    Will Evangelize Your Tech Company for Food

    Don Dodge used to be an official evangelist for Microsoft, hyping the company's software and insulting its competitor Google. Then Microsoft laid him off, and Google hired him. Cue the bitter, flip-flopping blog post in which Dodge loudly switches sides. More »

    Über-Programmer Ditches Yahoo Over 'Lame' Microsoft Deal

    No one likes Yahoo's search deal with Microsoft. Wall Street wanted more up front money; tech elites called it an abdication, a "shame" and "seppuku." Now Yahoo is losing a programming icon over the embarrassing arrangement. More »

    Jealous Google Lets Employees Flirt with Microsoft, But No Petting

    Google takes it all back, baby. The company now acknowledges it was wrong to begrudge programmer Jon Skeet a Microsoft MVP Award, just because it came from The Enemy. He can accept the prize. But no whispering sweet nothings. More »

    Bing Heats Google Ice Queen

    It's been ten years since Microsoft decisively buried Netscape, and Silicon Valley is still frightened of the monster in Redmond, Washington. Even giant Google is paranoid; the company is increasingly said to be chasing Microsoft's tail lights. More »

    After All That Drama, Google China Loses Leader
