Bill Gates Wants You To Watch Pr0n At Work

[StlSluggers]

Bing, Microsoft's new search engine, went live in the U.S. this weekend, aiming to challenge and possibly unseat industry titan Google.

But bloggers and Internet safety experts quickly discovered that one of Bing's "features" is that it takes only a few clicks for anyone — of any age — to view explicit pornographic videos without even leaving the search engine.

In its bid to beat Google, Microsoft has unveiled a slate of convenient features for Bing, including an "autoplay" tool that lets users preview videos simply by hovering a mouse over them.

That asset may become a liability, because users can get a taste of porn videos on Bing instead of having to go to a smutty Web site — an innovation other search engines have yet to offer.

Once I find his address, I'll post it so you can send your thank you card.

DISCLAIMER: I'm sure work filters will stop most of the videos. Just play along with the joke...

I tried Bing out yesterday and I can vouch that their media search is top-notch, perhaps better than Google's. I find the auto-refresh-and-load functionality with images annoying though.

So it would seem I was wrong about this.

Autoplay is not new or innovative. I know one site that already uses it .

Yes but remember you have to verify your age by pressing a button that says your age on it. But the good thing is that if you accidentally can't read or add or are under age you can keep guessing new ages until it thinks you are 21. Now thats security!

Obviously, we're not the Chinese.

It's actually kind of cool to be able to preview the videos. And yes, I tested this theory out on some playmate names and you can absolutely preview videos that are banned at my office.
