Bing search engine – MSN’s latest mistake!

MSN recently released its latest search engine bing.com which could exclusively be called as code Kumo, which seems to be an alternative or a plain option for live search engine and competitive to google.com, the no.1 search engine in the entire world wide web.

It also provides some features that google won’t, obviously they would be unwanted or superficial view of the search results.

What actually makes it a mistake for being competitive to google!

In the content of search results, Bing is not consistently superior to Google. In many searches I did, the Google results were more relevant and useful. Not by miles, mind you, but in many cases Google delivered the goods just enough better than Bing to make me question the wisdom of adopting Bing as a replacement search engine. Just one example: Searching for “Best house paint for humid climates” gave me better advice links at the top of the search results with Google than with Bing.

When searching for product reviews, Google’s search result pages were mostly better than Bing’s.

its code kumo version

Its Beta version so I would better have an update to it..Update pending

Mozilla Geode – A threat to User privacy?

Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox browser, has released technology that helps websites detect the physical location of computers.

• The system will allow users, for instance, to find local restaurants when they travel to a new town.

• The Geode project is an experimental program ahead of a full blown launch of geolocation technology.

• Users will have control over how much location information they give.

• It uses technology from a firm called Skyhook which works out a computer’s location from nearby wireless networks.

• Its so-called Loki system can determine location within seconds with an accuracy of about 10 to 20 metres.

But when it can trace the physical location of computers, then it can easily trace serious information for hackers and intruders as well, even some random websites now may steal user information very easily if this source code gets leaked.

It is a controversial question that if this issue should be accepted or not that easily by everyday and not so computer savvy users, as it may be a big threat to user privacy.

Google chrome review

Speed comparison

1. Slower than firefox3
2. Slower than ie8
3. Equivalent to safari
4. Can’t be compared to opera

Performance

1. Opens up with a lot of memory hog.
2. Takes a lot of time for warm up.
3. window doesn’t have GUI menu for newbies.
4. Worthless bookmarking tool.
5. No extensions.

Most common noted glitches/bugs

1. Multiple tapping of the left mouse click over back button might crash the entire browser window.
2. while opening a new tab, the window often freezes for some seconds.
3. The standard tab/menu bar is absent, and the view space is awkwardly bigger than other standard browsers making it a compromise for space and also causing less maneuverability and hence often crashes due to multiple commands.

Google chrome is still under beta testing and the version is available for downloading prior to user satisfaction.
The window would look like this

Addition to this review is pending as the google chrome version is still under beta testing
