"Apple doesn't do search!"

They really didn't do AI until a few weeks ago either. And they didn't do music until they did music. Would you really be shocked if one of the headlines tomorrow morning was that Duck Duck Go was acquired by Apple?

If they bought Duck Duck Go, that would be something. But we're not talking about that, we're talking about Siri. A product with a relatively small scope that the punditry is blowing out of proportion. This is the very same media that insisted we'd see an iPhone 5. There's no substance here -- it's all baseless wishful thinking.
If DDG went mainstream it would probably hit the paid tier for the Google API that generates most of its quality content.
We don't use any Google APIs.
But Bing I think? Would DDG work standalone?
