…when we can “ask” or “google” or “yahoo!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, I thought let me check an “online SQL tool” (web-based database administration software) on the net, and found out that Microsoft has one. OK, let me download it and check it. I visited their website, a link diverted me to it. And within it, it diverted me to an automated search, because the link was broken, or thinking the visitor typed an incorrect URL.<\/p>\n

\"Search<\/a>
Search for SQL web data administrator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And click on the first “genuine” looking result, which was actually the link I followed to come to Microsoft’s site:<\/p>\n

\"Oooops!<\/a>
Oooops! a broken link!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As usual, they change search settings of Internet Explorer, automatically add “bing”<\/strong> thing to the search provider list, through Windows Update. By the way, is it (Windows Update, nowadays they call it Microsoft Update as well) a feature to fix their<\/strong> bugs\/faults or a trojan that does whatever Microsoft wants to do on our PCs?<\/p>\n

All right, let’s just forget about the whole “bing”<\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
