Microsoft Launches Windows Phone Web Page

Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft has launched a new web page highlighting its existing Windows Phone 6.5 and the upcoming Windows Phone 7 mobile platforms. The page offers several resources such as tutorials and a list of featured applications for both versions of the mobile OS. In addition, the new web page allows individuals to view the different smartphones available. The list of Windows Phone 7 smartphones is currently empty for obvious reasons. However, users can learn more about existing Windows Phone 6.5 devices.
There’s no much to say about the web page other than it needs some refinements. With that said, the new Windows Phone web page does a good job providing existing Windows Phone 6.5 users and future/potential Windows Phone 7 users with great information about both versions of the operating system.
Click here to check out the new Windows Phone page. Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments below.

About Google Instant






Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.
The most obvious change is that you get to the right content much faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” Another shift is that seeing results as you type helps you formulate a better search term by providing instant feedback. You can now adapt your search on the fly until the results match exactly what you want. In time, we may wonder how search ever worked in any other way.

Benefits

Faster Searches: By predicting your search and showing results before you finish typing, Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
Smarter Predictions: Even when you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, predictions help guide your search. The top prediction is shown in grey text directly in the search box, so you can stop typing as soon as you see what you need.
Instant Results: Start typing and results appear right before your eyes. Until now, you had to type a full search term, hit return, and hope for the right results. Now results appear instantly as you type, helping you see where you’re headed, every step of the way.

How to remove flash cookies !

So you have used the Disk Cleanup utility and have cleared out your browsing history, cache and cookies. Now no one can see where you’ve been on the web, right? Wrong! Flash Cookies are stored separately and most junk cleaners do not clean them! They are normally stored in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[Random Name].

Flash applications store their own Flash cookies which are entirely separate from normal cookies. They can be used to see what sites you’ve visited even if you’ve deleted all your history and normal cookies. There is no way to delete or even view these cookies in your web browser.

Some sites even use Flash cookies as a “backup” for normal cookies. What this means is that these sites are able to restore your regular cookies even after you’ve deleted them. The site simply reads your Flash cookies, notices that your regular cookie has been deleted and then proceeds to reinstate the normal cookies using the data stored in the Flash cookies, says Mischel Internet Security Blogs.

So how do you delete the Flash Cookies too?


1) You can manually empty or delete the directories

2) Go to the Flash Player Settings Page at Adobe. This will start a small Flash application that allows you to delete Flash cookies; but this will delete only the .sol files.



3) Or you can use Flash Cookie Remover.



Flash Cookie Remover is a portable app that removes all of the cookie information, including the names of the sites.
