The week in your words: Microsoft can't close Windows

Posted on 10 Oct 2008 at 16:36

"I searched 'why are you so bad at this?' on Ask and was immediately directed to a site offering suicide tips," notes stephenreilly, who's clearly not got to grips with the forum's sense of humour yet.

Greemble was equally unimpressed: "Trying to find results using Ask will give a page of 'sponsored links', very few (if any) of which have much to do with what I'm looking for. Finding the actual results requires scrolling down the page and if you scroll too far, you get another load of advert links. Far too many ads to be of any use."

Shush, don't tell Google. It provides at least half of those pity links.

paulzolo wasn't entirely sure a facelift was necessarily the way to go. He still remembered Ask's last revamp. "In unrelated news, a Mr A Jeeves was admitted to hospital suffering from suspected pneumonia and severe exposure caused by almost two-and-a-half years of living rough since being sacked by has previous employers."

Speaking of exposure... actually best not. See you all next week.
