Seriously, Bing is starting to freak me out. Only a matter of time before it becomes self aware and starts learning at a geometric rate. As my last name is ‘Conner,’ you can understand my concern. Not naming my daughter ‘Sarah’ now for sure.

Crowd sourced photography, 3d mapping, social media integration and the whole kitchen sink is coming to Bing Maps sooner than you might think. Also, the live backpack video camera = your mind blown.

The possibilities for advertisers are both ominous in an Orwellian-esque way and exciting in a uber-geek-esque way. As both a sci-fi buff and gadget nerd, I am both terrified and titillated.

OK, now tell me that you’re 100% sure Bill Gates hasn’t secretly become a comic book super villain.
