Hadn’t got around to playing around with Bing, Microsoft’s new search engine, until today. As a Google/Mac guy I really wasn’t expecting much but I have to say I was impressed.
The search function doesn’t yet quite return as many pages as Google, but many of the searches I tried seemed much more targeted. The related searches were generally useful and I liked the way you could preview the pages by running your mouse down the right hand side of the results to bring up pop-up excerpts. The video search results – such as this one for our Premier Dr. Ewart Brown – are impressive: hover over the thumbnails and the video instantly starts playing. Very cool. It’s not often a Microsoft product earns a place on my Toolbar but this one’s worth it, even with a stupid name like Bing (But It’s Not Google!)
Lost Picture Recovery, Picture Recovery Software.
Am trying out Klix, a nifty bit of software that recovers images and video that get accidentally deleted from cameras, media cards or from corrupted or reformated cards. Demo is for 30 days and so far it works like a charm. May be the best $29.95 I’ll spend in a while.
