nsane.forums Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 A new post on Microsoft's official Bing blog offers up more information on the team's plans to expand the search features for the upcoming Windows 8.1 OS update.In a new post on the official Bing blog, Derrick Connell, the Corporate Vice-President of Microsoft's Bing division, states:With search in Windows 8.1 our intent is to have one way to find what you’re looking for, no matter where it lives – whether it’s a document on your PC, a photo album in the cloud, an app, PC setting or a website. In just a tap or a click you can play, view, launch, or browse.As previously rumored, search in Windows 8.1 can be enabled from anywhere in the OS. The search engine will automatically offer up suggestions for your search string and those results could come from inside the PC or from the Internet; the Bing engine will also generate images from a user's search results.Connell uses an example of searching for "Paris" that brings up photos of the city in France, along with links for popular attractions in the area and upcoming local events. Windows 8.1 will also let users book a trip with the Bing Travel app to the city without having to type in "Paris" again.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your freaking device, do anything you want to do with it. Rooted (jailbreak in Apple's terms) it for more functionality? No problem. No one's going to release a fix patching that root. Wanna install outside the market app? No problem. Just check "Allow installation of non-Market apps" in the settings - install any app you want, even if pirated (no need for root). You are the king, not the OS.Coming back to the EU point, yes, a very good point. EU should most certainly look Apple's practices. The good news is, it's already looking into Apple's warranty thingy, where it gives one year warranty and then paid warranty - something against EU laws, they require full 2 years warranty (or something like that). Either way, atleast first step by EU. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
