It's not yet 2014, but Microsoft is already making a resolution for the new year: make Bing's Satori knowledge repository equal to Google's Knowledge Graph.
Microsoft recently announced improvements to Satori (a Zen Buddhist term for enlightenment) that will bring more data front-and-center for searches of historical people and events, countries, and scientific data.
The improvements center around Bing's snapshot pane on the right-hand side of the search results page that shows a basic summary of information related to your search. Google offers a similar pane as part of its Knowledge Graph.
