Google +1 button
Apr 6th
Like the ubiquitous Facebook ‘like’ button, Google has launched an experimental feature ‘+1 Button’ 
. It is basically a recommendation service that for the first phase of release will only be limited to the Google search page. Later it will be another button all over the web (expected) that will enable you to share the stuff you see online. Google would definitely work hard to avoid privacy issues that it faced just after a few days of release of Buzz.
To enable it for your Google account you can visit the Google experimental page in Google Labs and click on join. Remember you cannot use two experimental services at a time.
Note: The +1 button will take some time/days to appear with your search results. Be patient.
Meanwhile have a look at the video.

Vector imagesize:1440x900
Or if you want to do it in a graphical interface go to: advanced image search. Now click on the use my
desktop size link and enter a search term in the blue-find box. Click on the Google Search button
Wolfram|Alpha
May 17th
WolframAlpha is the new computational knowledge search engine released two days from now ie 15 May 2009 for the general public. It is not a search engine and is of a completely different genere. Its funny when people talk about a Google-killer and WolframAlpha comes into the talk. In simple terms it is not used to search the web instead it uses its own internal data for computation of the queries.
XP windows search
Aug 11th
I think windows xp’s search assistant sucks, unlike vista’s.
I found that the windows desktop search from microsoft is cool it makes your desktop search like vista’s
It works fine with all xp editions.
