    I don't know this is a trick or a feature of Bing for user. But it's easy to create a Bing sub domain with your name. Just replace vtechtip at http://vtechtip.bing.com by your name, example: http://yourname.bing.com.
Wow, use a search engine with your name at domain, is it great? Why don't create a page for you and start search with it now :) I think with this, Microsoft maybe get a lot of users for Bing Search Engine.

Google Public DNS - Free DNS Service

As you know, Open DNS is a free DNS service help you surf the web faster and more security. Yesterday, Google introduced a new their service, this is Google Public DNS. Which will be believed that help you:

• Provide end users with an alternative to their current DNS service. Google Public DNS takes some new approaches that we believe offer more valid results, increased security, and, in most cases, better performance.
• Help reduce the load on ISPs' DNS servers. By taking advantage of our global data-center and caching infrastructure, we can directly serve large numbers of user requests without having to query other DNS resolvers.
• Help make the web faster and more secure. We are launching this experimental service to test some new ways to approach DNS-related challenges. We hope to share what we learn with developers of DNS resolvers and the broader web community and get their feedback.

First, you need to change network configuration of window to use Google Public DNS:
     - With Windows XP: go to Control Panel --> Network and Internet Connections --> Network Connections, right click to Local Area Network and choose Properties. In list This connection uses the following items, choose Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) and click Properties. In new windows, you click Use the folloing DNS server addresses, and at Prefered DNS Server, fill 8.8.8.8, and at Alternate DNS Server fill 8.8.4.4. Then OK to finish.
     - With Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to Control Panel --> Network and Internet --> Network and Sharing Center > View Status > Properties and then configure as XP.
