Every year, millions of Americans come down with the stomach flu, or viral gastroenteritis. It can cause diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, fever, and headache. Itâs also highly contagious.
Bing and Yahoo went down but hackers weren't to blame. Notice that Bing and Yahoo searches were down earlier today? Or maybe Siri and Cortana? No, it wasn't the result of a hack -- it was something less nefarious according to Reuters' sources. Apparently Microsoft issued a bad code update and then couldn't hit CRTL+Z fast enough once it went live.
And while Bing grew 24 percent over the last year, Google remains the market leader by a dominant margin. In certain industries, all it takes is a market leader to act and others follow suit. Becoming a market leader in any business is a hard feat, which is why so many turnarounds (and startups) fail.
