Microsoft expands ad-free Bing searches for US schools from kindergarten through 12th grade
– canadianbusiness.com
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Microsoft is expanding a program that gives schools the ability to prevent ads from appearing in search results when they use its Bing search engine. The program, launched in a pilot program earlier this year, is now available to all U.S. schools, public or private, from kindergarten through the 12th grade.
The program is meant to create a safer online environment for children, but also promote use of Bing, which trails market leader Google.
Microsoft Corp. is also giving away a first-generation Surface tablet computer to schools where community members sign up to use the ad-supported version of Bing outside of the school.
The program is tailored so that 60 parents and friends who do 30 Bing searches a day can earn their school a Surface in a little over a month. There is no limit on the number of Surface devices a school can earn.
Microsoft has some unsold inventory of the first generation Surface in stock after booking a large write-down on the devices last year…

Asia shares mixed on lacklustre China data; Japan buoyed by yen, Seibu IPO
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Shares were mixed in Asia on Wednesday, as weak data from China sapped upward momentum from an overnight rally on a flurry of deals in the pharmaceutical sector.
A preliminary survey of Chinese manufacturers by HSBC showed slight improvements in prices and demand, but contractions in new export orders and employment in April. The results were expected, but helped pull Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index down 0.6 per cent to 22,592.41. Shares in mainland China also fell.
But Japan’s Nikkei 225 index gained 0.6 per cent to 14,470.54 as export manufacturers’ shares advanced on the relative weakness of the yen.
Sentiment was also buoyed by a solid start for Seibu Holdings Inc. whose shares rose 5 per cent in the morning after an initial public offering in its relisting on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Elsewhere in Asia, Korea’s Kospi fell 0.2 per cent to 2,000.54. Shares rose in Australia, New Zealand but lost ground in Indonesia, Taiwan and Singapore.
