Uninspiring Thursday: iPhone 4 on Verizon and more on Bing versus Google.

I feel so uninspired even though there’s a lot of news today.

iPhone 4 on Verizon are available in stores.
It’s February 10, 2011. The launch day for iPhone 4 for Verizon. It feels like last week news though, just like the iOS 4.2.6 for CDMA iPhone 4. The firmware was made available in late January 2011.

Bing beats Google, so someone says.
Some Analysis firm says that Bing is better than Google. Then Google’s Matt Cutts responds.

Till next time.
