So, if anyone cares, Microsoft launched the revamp of Live! Search, as bing.com.   Supposedly, it's not a recursive acronym, but "BING Is Not Google" makes me laugh.  However, unlike WA, this one seems actually somewhat useful.  I doubt it will conquer the almighty Google, but I think it's one to keep any eye on.

It's easier to type.

Is Microsoft trying to test the limits again of how similar a product can look to a rival?

Actually, I'd say Microsoft took more of the ideas from Ask.com as opposed to Google.

There is a setting, but if you turned it off for images then it's off for video too.

Look right below the search box (after doing a search) and it should say Safe Search Off ( change ).

Or are we seeing XXX videos in non-XXX searches?

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail
