Google now with Twitter

Category : technology

I just noticed today that when I search on Google it includes twitter results also. Checkout this screenshot from when I searched for filehippo

googletwitter

I’ll have to give it some time before I decide if I like how google has integrated twitter. I’ve added the Firefox search provider for Topsy that way I can search twitter directly from my firefox search box. I also use twitters built-in search, tweetmeme, and twazzup. But only Topsy has the Firefox search provider.

If the Google results are relevant and allow me to see more than 2, it could make searching twitter much easier.

Where is face recognition for windows

20px|Windows Live Logo Windows Live Photo Gallery

First off I’m a windows user so don’t say get a Mac. I saw the commercial about IPhoto and how it could search through all your pictures and tag them for you with a persons name. We already have hundreds of photos of the kids and normally don’t go though each one and tag it after we upload it to the computer. I’ve read about Google’s Picasa having face tagging, but that’s only for the online web albums. I want to tag them locally on my PC. I’ve looked but having found anything for windows that would do it. I really like Windows Live Photo Gallery software and I’ve used Adobe elements before, but right now neither of these products will do auto face tags.

Category : Post from around the Net, technology

Wow, I just took a quick look at the list of features and I’m stunned. depending on how difficult it is to set this up. I maybe getting this going at work this week. We use altiris for desktop management. But we don’t use it for the servers, this could be a great way to image our servers.

I was just searching for a way to clone my laptop just in case disaster strikes. I found a cool tool called Clonezilla. It’s free, open source and very easy to use. You can burn a “live cd” or even copy the tool to a USB memory stick and just boot from it.

It supports a whole bunch of file systems: ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, and FAT, NTFS of MS Windows! Check it out.

Cool tool
