Google vs Bing on Easter By Matthew Yglesias March 31, 2013

Conservatives' longstanding complaints about Google's choice of "Google doodles" are only going to be reenforced by today's decision to commemorate Easter as the birthday of Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez.
Google's main competition in the search field, Microsoft's Bing, offers a more Easter-themed graphic for today but one that highlights the secular traditions that have grown up around the holiday rather than its religious themes:
But for those seeking a little more Jesus with their Easter, here's a portion of Rafael's "Resurrection of Christ":
The doodles are, obviously, not significant in and of themselves. But Google's ability to indulge the whims of its staff rather than cater to mass opinion on them is a highly visible signpost of its extremely strong market position. The same phenomenon is why it can plow search-related operating surpluses into speculative ventures from Android to Glass to self-driving cars.

is anyone really surprised?
Over here maybe...?
I’m not sure this will work as it’s a facebook link:

Geez, all Cesar ever gave his people were outside toilets. He died and lived like a king telling “his people” he lived and was as poor as them. I would say he was more a con than anything.
Let me know if that FB link works.
Cesar Chavez is dead and Jesus is alive, so maybe only dead people are acknowledged by Google.
It does.
Let the dead acknowledge the dead ... He is risen, alive forever more!

So which outfit really has the most noxious statists at the helm?
Google with Schmidt, Brin, and Page?
or
Microsoft with Ballmer and Gates?
ANTI-CHRISTIANS!!!!!
The eggs on Bing are really beautiful, and some interesting information to boot. (Sorta like an Easter egg hunt)
Don’t use google products.
Outlook.com for mails
Bing for searches
Not Android for phones.
Thanks, I had not heard of it before. It looks quite good.
What a downer to see Chavez picture when I turned on my computer. But I don’t expect anything else from these pagans.
And, unlike iPhone, unless you're actually buying a Motorola Phone, the Android OS itself doesn't put much money in Google's pockets. Samsung, LG and HTC have all done more to promote Android and protect its intellectual property than Google has.
