WTH! Bing is actually a pretty good search engine. Windows Live Search is dead. Long live Bing. Oh, and, Google, your arse is on fire.
Bing is finally live, at least wherever my IP addresses direct. I started testing Bing against Google this morning. My reaction is what Microsoft marketing demanded I have about Windows Vista but didn’t: “Wow.” Actually, that’s fraking Wow! Who could have guessed.
My initial reaction to Nokia’s Ovi Store is “Huh, this is it?” Today, the mobile application marketplace opened for business in nine countries—Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. I really expected more, as in content. Where are those supposedly tens of thousands of applications already available for Symbian OS variants S40 and S60?
A few months ago, I decided to get out of the dSLR market and go compact camera. I made the decision after using a Canon PowerShot G9. I concluded that a compact with RAW capabilities could meet most of my photo shooting needs. Sure, there would be compromises, but the Nikon D200 often stayed bagged because of the trouble taking it anywhere.
