Bing’s Backgrounds for April 2013.
Click to access Bing background archives.
Notice they do different US & UK backgrounds but they duplicate them — e.g. today’s spiral staircase background in the US was yesterday’s from the UK.
As I had suspected they are finding it hard to be compelling and topical now that April Fool’s is past.
With Easter & April Fool’s Now History, Bing Background Goes Back To Being Flaccid Cf. Google Doodle.

So do YOU know what that city is or the significance of that bridge? By chance, I just happened to know because I am a news junkie.
This is the problem that Bing faces. They can’t be as topical and relevant as Google Doodles.
But Bing did manage to get me to look. So that alone is worth something to them.
P.S., That is Sarajevo.

This is what greeted me when I signed onto Fidelity this morning — as I always do.
I haven’t checked yet. It could be 100% legit. But, WHO would put a notice like that out on April 1?
I was kind of curious about the terminology used. Yes, I know my splits, but I find it hard to believe that any financial institute would want to talk about forward splits on April Fool’s day.
What a day. Now I need to go and visit Direxion. More distractions.
OK. I just checked. It is legit. Direxion did announce it March 15. Here is the link. But, come on Fidelity. Don’t make announcements like this on April Fool’s day! Get with the program.
