Mindset

Scoble pointed out an interesting search engine project called Mindset which was done by Yahoo. It can weight your search by commercial and non-commercial results .

A Yahoo! Research Labs demo that applies a new twist on search that uses machine learning technology to give you a choice: View Yahoo! Search results sorted according to whether they are more commercial or more informational (i.e., from academic, non-commercial, or research-oriented sources).

What's the name of that song?

Very cool! Have you ever wanted to know the name of that song that's playing? Now you can, just use this service by dialing the number and holding the phone next to the music for 15 seconds. You will then get an SMS message with the song details sent to you. - Note this is fee paying service. Thanks Robert for the link.

Have to get myself an Xbox 360!

Just watched the E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo - Las Angeles) introduction to Microsoft's new gaming console named the Xbox360. WOW! Paul Thurrott has Bill Gates's mug on the front of Time Magazine with the new toy.

Microsoft Open Source Love

Here is a great list of Open Source projects that are available on the Windows platform. The only open source applications that I am currently using on my Windows machines are Audacity and RSS Bandit (created by a Microsoft employee during his own time)

New Google Toy

What are those Google guys up to now? Google Web Accelerator - a web browser caching tool that will prefetch pages while you are reading the current page you are on. I know of this being done in the past, yet the company and product names escape me. I'd love to hear what web surfers think of this little tool. Yet seeing I've moved to the Really Simple Syndication form of consuming the web I can't really make use of this tool.

Looks like I've found my next car :-)

Video here - Bentley Continental Flying Spur! Now all I need is some money.
