Have you been itching to try out Bing? Looking longingly at the screenshots around the Web wondering how those lucky few got early access?

Head over to the BehindBing site at http://www.discoverbing.com/behindbing/ and get all the cool-kids info to help you get ready for Bing's public launch.

Want more Bing? How about an interactive Webcast where we'll walk you through all the cool features in our new decision engine. Sure you could read the Product Guide (located here ) but that would require, you know, reading. Better just to watch. Plus, while you can talk to the Product Guide it likely won't respond (and if it does let us know - I thought we fixed that bug).

by Mike Krumboltz Fact: 98% of males have at least a dim awareness of Megan Fox 's existence. After her appearance at the Seoul premiere of " Transformers 2 ," the final 2% may now be on board as well. Fox, the heir apparent to Angelina Jolie as the universe's supreme sex symbol, walked the red carpet in a sheer black dress that has the Web (especially drooling dudes) in a tizzy.
