For a whopping $44.6 billion. Wow.

I guess they're serious about competing with Google? :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Heh, we were working with Microsoft contractors (still are, in fact). We asked them some questions about Microsoft products, and MSN Live Search kept turning up crap results. So they switched to google, and suddenly they started getting good results. He thought it was funny, "we aren't supposed to use Google, but at least it gives us proper answers!"
