Microsoft got an official Christmas present from the big man himself. No, not Santa--Uncle Sam. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which has delightfully perpetuated the myth of a flying present-giver on Christmas Eve since the 1950's by 'tracking' Santa, decided to ditch its 5-year-old partnership with Google Maps in favor of Bing. "Google supported NTS [NORAD Tracks Santa] from 2007-2011 and helped increase NTS program awareness across the globe; NORAD is grateful for the partnership and the resulting success. This year, NTS and Google mutually agreed to go in new directions," an NORAD spokesman told Search Engine Land.
