Normally I would agree that Bing has its issues. But to say that Bing is stacking the results, is absolutely not true. Yes, the results I have found to be of Live Search quality, but stacked against Apple? Hardly. Try the same query now. Can you see it? Now check on it every day for the rest of the week. The results shift. In short, the original query was typical of Bing’s rolling relevancy. It had nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft.

Yes folks, Apple is more expensive. Perhaps that translates into more value. I cannot speak to that. I’d have to ask my wife, who owns the iMac in the family. But the barrier to entry for a Mac is higher unless you are seriously looking to buy a non-portable mini… something notebook sales might laugh at..

I think Apple has some good stuff. And I wish it all the best — no issues there. But there are a lot of people online these days inquiring about its price point. Because, frankly, this phenomenon is not limited to Bing — it happens on Google as well.
