Hey guys,
I set the bing search engine as my homepage. Not because it is particularly good but because they have really nice background images. I still do most of my searching with google.
I was quite impressed with todays bing photo!
The bing homepage is a nice personal homepage to have and the information scattered amongst the image is neat.
I don't use a website homepage with Google Chrome, where there is an option to thumbnail a number of most recently visited sites as a homepage.

Of course the real "Bing" died ages ago! That is the real Bing Crosby![/color][/quote]
What about Chandlerâ¼
I never used chrome yet. I was worried i might assist google in achieving world domination <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':laugh:' />
Yes... Chandler (the funny friend) Bing, Peter.

Hahaha. Yeah I believe Google are developing their own operating system too.
If not already, and just like the Great Wall of China, Google HQ will be visible from space.
Google is developing an operating system for netbooks, glen: [url="http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/07/google-chrome-operating-system.html"]http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/07/g...ing-system.html[/url]
...and certainly a +1 to my pro column decision making process regarding acquiring a notebook/netbook. I so want to be able to affordably surf the net from bed.
On the subject of Google Chrome... be sure to run the Google Chrome updates (in the About Google Chrome dialogue window)... the latest version is drool worthyâ¼

I don't think so. There is no external installation process--the update is done auto-magically with only a Chrome restart required.
The latest version is 3.0.195.21.
Check your version by clicking the Spanner in the top right hand corner of Google Chrome and then selecting the "About Google Chrome" menu item near the bottom of the menu. The version information and update option is at the bottom of the "About Google Chrome" dialogue window.
I had to share this one. Is theis the cutest duck on earth?
This is the bing background image today.

nah i think bing is generally crap. but it will hopefully improve. i think google needs some competition to spice things up.
