Google Instant Search, Redefining 'Instant'

The developers at Google are at it again..... They've been quite busy lately introducing upgrades and extensions which improve upon the existing lineup of Google offerings. The search engine, Google's bread and butter, now gets a revamping too. Just days ago, Google Instant search results were released to the public. This serves as the company's real time search engine, redefining what most people consider 'instant'.

THE NEW INSTANT
Previously, the parameters for a Google search query were defined by what you type in the search box before pressing 'enter'. Now, the parameters are defined per letter, as you are typing. The company describes this update to their search engine as, "Search before you type..."; because Google Instant predicts what you are most likely to type and offers search results accordingly. Google describes the experience as, “...faster search, easier search". I guess the old 'instant' is no longer fast enough...

In order to use the new instant search, you must be logged into your Google account.

THE NEW BILLION
Also worth noting, Google claims to have one of the busiest services on the net, having passed the 1 billion users per week mark. I think we all knew they were one of the busiest, but one billion users per week? I don't think most people can comprehend how busy that is. And you thought you were busy just keeping up with several blogs!

Portable Free PC repair/Diagnostic Tool Box For Computer Administrators

So, my favorite program for keeping the computers running at peak performance has gone plaid!
That's right, IObit.com and Advanced SystemCare 3 took the best running utility software and made it even better. With the latest update, its like they decided to quit preparing to fast forward and started just fast forwarding. They boldly chose a new interface, going away from the style of past versions; and it's this pioneering spirit that pushed them past light speed and ludicrous speed, even with a jammed radar (raspberry, I presume!).
Now I must admit that Advanced SystemCare 3 was already my favorite utility program, but with this update, they offer even more options to maximize, revitalize, and de-clutterize your digital link to the today age. The best part of all? It's FREE! Here's the link so you can try it out:

I heard a great quote the other day on NPR from a guest speaker explaining how Steve Jobs, the current CEO of Apple Inc., lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola to serve as Apple's CEO in 1983.
According to Wikipedia, Steve Jobs simply asked him, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?".

Well, he may have been on to something there.....
