Why do I call searching a lost art ? Simply because I hardly hear anyone mention search anymore; everybody seems to be googling for information.
Michael Kordahi has developed an interesting tool called Blind Search
With Blind Search, a user enters a search query and sees three different set of search results, from Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft Bing – the catch is that the user is not shown which search engine is associated with a given set of results.
The idea is that a search engine’s effectiveness should be evaluated independent of reputation.
Use it – the results may be revealing for those who rely exclusively on Google for their search needs.

A user on Microsoft Answers discusses a matter of crucial importance:
I’ve noticed that as I copy data/install programs on my Laptop, the weight of the Laptop increases. I have a bad back and am medically limited on the amount of weight I can carry so I need to be very carefull not to inflict injury upon myself.
I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don’t travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.
My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB’s = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my Laptop.
Thanks in advance!
