Read More Microsoft to Launch Next Generation Search Engine- Kumo
Although Microsoft is testing the search engine under the Kumo name, executives have said that is just one of several names the company is considering.
Microsoft has reportedly put up a clock in one of its buildings with a 40-day countdown to the launch of its next generation search engine, code named Kumo.
The search engine focuses on a couple of areas, including an attempt to break down a search query into a couple more detailed options. When searching, say, for the term \"Audi,\" Kumo breaks things down into an initial result with facts such as price and fuel economy pulled out in bold, followed by general Web results, then results by category, such as Audi parts, used Audis, and Audi accessories.
The software maker has been testing its search engine internally since last month, but has not said exactly when the service would launch. The countdown appears to roughly coincide with a speech from newly minted online boss Qi Lu, who is slated to speak at the SMX Advanced event on June 3. The timing also seems to coincide with reports that Microsoft plans a big ad campaign for its search engine starting this summer.

Gazelle: Microsoft New browser better than any other browser
Microsoft New browser called Gazelle. Microsoft researchers are working on Gazelle which it promises will have some impressive new features and capabilities.
Read More The firm released a research paper (PDF) late last week, saying that the new browser would offer significant security improvements compared to other browsers, including Internet Explorer.
\"No existing browsers, including new architectures like Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome and OP, have a multi-principal operating system construction that gives a browser-based operating system the exclusive control to manage the protection of all system resources among web site principals,\" Microsoft said in the report.
The browser will change this tradition by being built on its own kernel, in effect allowing it to operate as an operating system. This means that Gazelle could intelligently identify traffic, and react to anything malicious.
\"Our prototype implementation and evaluation experience indicates that it is realistic to turn an existing browser into a multi-principal operating system that yields significantly stronger security and robustness with acceptable performance and backward compatibility,\" the researchers wrote.
\"The implementation and evaluation of our IE-based prototype shows promise of a practical multi-principal operating system-based browser in the real world,\" the researchers concluded.
The browser is only open for discussion at this stage, and there are no current plans for a release in any form.

Pros & Cons of Latest 3rd Generation IPod shuffle
Pros & Cons of Latest 3rd Generation IPod shuffle
Read More Pros * Supports multiple playlists * Can navigate thanks to Voiceover controls * Supports Apple Lossless files * Higher-capacity * Good sound and volume.
Cons * No controls on iPod * Navigation more difficult than in the past * Battery charge poorer than in the past * Tiny switch on top of iPod difficult to manage with adult fingers * Must pay for adapter or compatible headphones if unhappy  with included headphones. * Lack of controls on the iPod—is more difficult to use * Controversial control makes the ipod shuffle more clumsy.  Pressing to traipse through multiple items in a playlist is clumsy. Not only is it likely some users will forget which combination of presses transports them from place to place. I suspect a lot of 3G iPod shuffle owners will forgo all this button pushing.
