The latest contender for Google's title as Top Search Engine is Bing, a would-be Google killer from Microsoft. So far the story is playing out according to form. The new search engine (SE) -- and this one is very deep-pocketed -- gets lots of publicity and generally underinformed press comment.

Comparing talent management to supply chain challenges, Peter Cappelli guides everyone towards four handy lessons. Set aside for a moment the tempting reaction to his comparison of employees to manufactured widgets, Cappelli's points are useful.
