Дзесьці ў Каліфорніі — У узрушаючай серыі выкрыццяў, якія ператварылі свеце тэхналогій з ног на галаву, Трыо тэхналагічных гігантаў абвясціў аб планах для смарт-тостар. Яблык, Microsoft, and Google held launch parties this weekend for a series of new devices. This brave reporter attended all three.

That’s all well and good, since you’re allowed to advertise, but Microsoft really goes to the extreme:
Microsoft signed a deal with Blackberry so that Bing would be the only search engine available on Blackberrys.
My sister bought a new computer and was offered a free song download if she searched with Bing.
I was looking on my analytics page (tracking visitors to the site) and noticed someone came to hathix through DuckDuckGo. Being bored, I looked up DuckDuckGo and I was impressed automatically. It’s agreat search engine. Here’s why.
Zero-click info
DuckDuckGo’s got this great feature that lets you see some quick background info on a subject when you search it. If I want to know who Nelson Mandela is without having to read a lengthy article about apartheid, South Africa, and that sort of stuff, I can just DDG it and look what I get:
