Nothing to do with any newsreader. Being a HTTP-URL i pasted the 
string using a web-browser of my choosing .. but maybe Bing.com 
is a ms-webbrowser-only web-site *grin*.

Looks like a probable italian-sponsored redirection to that ms 
owned search-engine, still not a dictionary lookup. .. well, 
testing ... Yup, it redirects to the earlier given primary URL.

Anyway, if i want definitions for a word, i look it up in a 
hardware dictionary or go to an online dictionary site, not type 
  it at a generic search-engine site.
You've got anything against places like, 
<http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/>?

<http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Avatar+%28disambiguation%29>

  "Avatar is the incarnation of a higher being" ... hmm...
