I stumbled across a site tonight that allows you to search Google and Bing side by side. I am a huge Google fan and currently use them as my default search engine, but I do think Microsoft is stating to catch them. The below site will let you quickly compare search results between the two engines. Check it out and let me know what you think about it.

Google just released their newest service which is public DNS. DNS is one of the most important services when it come to using the internet. Most of the times your local ISP does not have the resources to set up a good reliable DNS infrastructure. Most end users don’t realize that the average user performs hundreds of DNS requests each day. Going to some web pages only require one look up, but advanced pages make several DNS look ups.
The main reason to use the service is reliability, speed and increased security. For advanced users one thing to note is that the service does not support DNSSEC. Google has put in other measures to help with overall security. I have been using the service for the past couple of days and have not had any issues. Google’s DNS service is a great upgrade from my ISP service. So would encourage to try out the new service. I doubt you will go back.

I am a huge fan of Gmail, but one of the downfalls up to this point is you could not access email offline. Gmail labs has come to the rescue again as they have started to roll out offline Gmail. You will have to enable this feature when it is available for your account. Gmail is actually using Gears in the background to cache your email locally. When your browser looses connection to the internet it will revert to your cached account instead of showing nothing. The one thing to remember is that this feature is very experimental so don’t be surprised if you run into some issues.
