It’s crazy but it’s true: Apple rejected Bing for wrong answers about Annie Lennox (The Register)

The Register: It’s crazy but it’s true: Apple rejected Bing for wrong answers about Annie Lennox. Trigger warning for Annie Lennox fans: this article constantly refers to “The Eurythmics” instead of “Eurythmics.” Eventually my eye will stop twitching. “Bad search results for the query ‘Annie Lennox first band’ were among the reasons Apple rejected an approach from Microsoft to use the Bing search engine as the default in its Safari browser – and also discarded the idea of a joint venture to make Bing better or even the chance to buy the search engine outright.”
