Apparently Rupert Murdoch (who owns a bunch of websites, with the Wall Street Journal being one of them) thinks that Google is stealing money from him by including his websites in its search results. So, they have officially sold the rights to index their web content to Microsoft.

And to use the response that I sent to Peter in an email:

I think its hilarious! Who the heck gives a crap if the Wall Street Journal isn't in Google search results! You already have to pay money to read it, anyway.

I think Rupert Murdoch is is going regret this. Do you know anyone that would switch to Bing for this?

Frankly, I'm not interested in a) websites that would pull this shit, or b) a search engine that would encourage it. Good riddance to them both.

Rupert Murdoch has officially lost his mind

   I agree. But I still think that we're losing something, even if we choose not to support them.

   For example, I feel fine in not supporting Adobe because they're evil. And I want to tell them that they've lost a customer. But it doesn't mean that I haven't lost their services and their technology.

   They may lose more, but it still doesn't mean we're winning.
