Times for change, they always come in one shape or another. This year it comes in the form of activities! Things to do and spend time.
Canon Beach
The blogosphere is buzzing about how Google has charged Bing with cheating or copying its results. And they have proof that it happens.
1. What is the charge and what is the proof:
Google had 20 engineers use winXP machines with the Bing toolbar installed while searching for their own random search terms… and do that for a couple of weeks. and after that time – it shows up on google. ergo they are cheating.
2. The Defense
The Googlers used Bing’s toolbar, agreed to the EULA, agreed to send user data back for Bing to improve its service. And since the googlers were consistently providing these ‘garbage’ results, that brought the results seeded by Google. The Bing toolbar sent that data back to Bing which used that data to improve its results and return the valid result. So, it worked.
2010 in Review
2010 has been an amazing year, a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but one that was worth all the highs and the lows.
Early this year, I started off with very basic goals…
Get a Job
Finish Last Semester at McMaster University!
Finish OI6 Design Project – Autonomous Racer!
LensHero!
My next favorite site for lens selection!
So, came across this site on lifehacker, and have to say that its amazing… Normally, i’d research the lenses at dpreview, but it wasnt always as easy to use and loved the suggest feature.
Being the site that it is, it suggested a 70-300, which was definitely one i had in mind, but i dont know if i will go with a tamron – will just have to try it out to find out! maybe an early christmas gift for myself wouldn’t be too bad right now?
Overall, i think anyone who is thinking of expanding their lenses or just wants to see what he/she should look for next, its a great site!
And the address for this great site is www.LensHero.com!
