Back in March, I had stumbled upon search history in Live Search, which was never opened to the public. It was just a mere coincidence but it did show that Microsoft plans to implement it down the road. Back then, the name Bing had not been announced and we all were speculating on the [...]

Flickr really knows how to do images well. Whether on the desktop or a mobile browser, and now this stands true for an iPhone app as well because Flickr has really nailed it with its official app. Not only does it let you search and browse for images, you can upload photos and videos ( [...]
Long Zheng (Mr. about-to-graduate-from-university) of istartedsomething has created an archive of the photographs that are used as Bing’s backgrounds. They are some of the best looking photos you’ll see. Although, Bing has an option to navigate through the old photos, it’s not really a fast process. That’s where the Bing Image Archive steps in. Created like a calendar, it archives the daily images from the United States version of Bing as well the international images. The US images also show the hotspots that are shown on the Bing homepage and link to certain search results.

Whether or not you are a fan of Microsoft or a fan of Apple, it really doesn’t matter. The iPod has been dominating the MP4 player scene for a long time and it is doubtful that it will change anytime soon. The Zune has many good features, but is dominated when it comes to the Applications, and web browser. But last time I checked, the Zune is a multimedia device. Not a PDA. Same for the iPod and iTouch. If I want a PDA, I’d get a blackberry. But I want something where I can listen to music, watch videos, view photos, and send messages to people. Let’s see. My Zune can do that. So I guess I’m sold. Its a lot more user friendly than the iPod, but despite the Zune’s low popularity and very low advertisement, the iPod will forever dominate the MP4 player scene, and this will only push Microsoft harder to make better decisions next time it makes changes to their devices.
