Microsoft Tortures Littles Kids With Bing Jingle
TechCrunch —
Maybe you’ll recall when I ripped apart the Bing jingle winner back in August. It was bad — real bad. But it’s creator, Jonathan Mann is a talented guy, and even made a jingle ripping me, which was both better than the Bing one, and funny. Sadly, Microsoft now controls his Bing jingle and is subjecting little children to it.
As you can see in the video below, Microsoft has forced a bunch of middle schoolers in Pennsylvania to learn and perform Mann’s Bing song. The horror. It’s hard to watch this without immediately thinking about parents who accept money to allow their child to be sponsored. Is this the future of ...

A little background: In the weeks following Bing's launch in June, Microsoft held an online contest in which people were asked to compose a jingle for the search engine and submit it via YouTube. The winner was Jonathan Mann ...

If there were an office pool on how low can Microsoft stoop, the winner would be the guy who picked this. Microsoft was able to get students at the Keith Valley Middle School in Pennsylvania to perform the Bing jingle--on camera. The horror!
MG Siegler, over at TechCruch, rates the Bing Jingle as bad. Scratch that--he says it’s real bad. And it’s hard to disagree, with lyrics like “bing goes the internet.” (Actually, that’s the only lyric.) This detritus won top place in a Microsoft-sponsored contest. I shudder to think what came in second.
First, the internet does not go “bing.” (Or anything else for that matter). ...
5 O’Clock Roundup: Sony still failing, Google jumps comparison ad train,
VentureBeat —
Sony posted its fourth consecutive loss, but consumer electronics in general is turning around – Sony lost $289 million last quarter, compared to almost the same amount in profits last year. The company has already eliminated 16,000 jobs and closed eight factories, but the deep cuts weren’t enough.
Yet investors feel the sectors results are overall good. Samsung tripled its profits to a record $3.14 billion, while much smaller Panasonic reported $67 million in net profit. The New York Times says Samsung utilized new display panel technologies and better marketing to grab market share away from Sony and Panasonic.

And You Thought Ask.com Had an Annoying Jingle–Try "Bing Goes the Internet"
BoomTown —
Now, BoomTown likes a good jingle as much as anyone else, but this new one from Microsoft’s Bing search service is sticking in my head like a piece of chewed gum.
Shot at Keith Valley Middle School in Horsham, Pa., it uses 400 very adorable sixth graders who are dragooned into one very large “Bing Goes the Internet” dance–complete with logo wear. The kids rock, the advertising jingle not so much.
They are using the winning entry in the Bing jingle contest, by Jonathan Mann.
I must say, regretfully, stick with vampires, Microsoft (MSFT).
In any case, here’s the video, as well as one of the ...
