http://duckduckgo.com would have been a much better choice!
This looks like a sock puppet account astroturfing for duckduckgo. I wouldn't expect them to resort to tactics like that.
DuckDuckGo is one of them--it doesn't need sock puppets.

Totally called this one: I don't think it's an accident that this announcement comes far away enough from the next release for there to be time for Google to make them a better offer. Even if that doesn't happen in the next release, this may be Canonical's way of showing their hand. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1079909
Interestingly, there was now "Why?" section to this new note. I'm surprised that Ubuntu has enough of an installed base for Google to have made a counter-offer. Also, isn't Bing powering Yahoo's search these days anyway?

Ubuntu is claiming 12 million users. That's not incredibly big, but it's probably enough to make Google take notice.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why Bing and not DuckDuckGo? It is an excellent search engine, in many cases it has much better search results, and it logs no IP addresses.
Probably because your average guy or gal (the people Ubuntu would want to reach out to the most) have ever even heard of it.
