السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

If you are a technology freak and following IT news websites and if you are not ..If you are following Microsoft news and if you are not ..if you are closed source supporter and if you are not ..

If you have heard about

Or not ..

Here’s my personal feedback and review on bing…

First while talking about bing you may need to open these links in new tabs:
http://alexa.com/siteinfo/bing.com+google.com
http://alexa.com/siteinfo/google.com+bing.com

Commenting Alexa

It’s obvios that google is #1 and is going to be there stable for long time .. but it’s great to notice the unbelievable increase in bing statistics ..
you may also change the resolution to trailing 7 days to understand how fast it’s ..

WHY ?

For the following reasons I’m posting about bing
1-I was wondering why do someone bing like Microsoft insist on competing with google enhancing live or even launching bing although they really know that google is google ..!

2-bing became a buzz word lately on internet

3-When I gave it a try it wasn’t live search disguised as I expected .. It’s some features to talk about..

4-It’s well known that microsoft wants to acquire yahoo and suddenly I heard the news that they withdrawn the proposal .. and I don’t mean that there is a conspiracy here but it’s so strange ..

Technically Personally Speaking

Technically It sounds like google is faster but i’m not talking about that now, specially that I’ll not be fair if I commented any of them technically .. so that what I saw from my eye-balls..
I visited it once I got the news that it was launched and I was about to bounce once I opened the site ..
Google -as a competitor in my head- has a great simple home page and I’m quite sure that no one will lose his direction or search alot to reach the destination and as I can see it’s a super picture here that sounds to be over design for the first moment..

• BUT,It’s not any RANDOM picture
  bing is placing a new picture everyday and related links on the picture which is great from many point of views that you may deduce yourself but for sure the one you may not get directly is the impact of that picture on people living in the picture and you may get the feeling by imaging
  Mansoura university the background of bing search engine .. ok I should stop day dreaming ..
  
• Maps
  While talking with Mohammed Atia he pointed me that bing maps is different than google maps as they are in angle and not a very high top view like the google ones ..
  I still like google maps and it’s highly integrated, specially with open APIs but bing really uses maps WISELY .. specially in integration with people search which is NEW to me..
• Other features like your dinner tonight/ breakfast, popular now and Travel are nice enough to check also ..
• I’m not a big fan of M$ so I’m totally satisfied with google .. and still can’t get what microsoft is heading to ..!

Sorry for the long post and here comes my personal news:

Al Salam 3lykom

Briefly I’ll be sorting the main events in the last 15 days ..

1-Wednesday 17th of Septemeper

a-P02 last session , P02 is PHP course from depiak foundation
after that class I had a very small session summarizing depiak summer activity and depiak activity in summer 200, and talking about the system proGlem P02 course project.

We also choosed MMF to be the best member in depiak for that year and he won free eftar with CAT.

Course members gave me a notebook filled with thanks and hopes to have a better life and they are wishing to be my friends and they really happy with the course, and It’s really my first time to have such a present and it’s really great for me to have such a present in that specific time

b-Portsaid trip:

Minutes after depiak session we were heading to portsaid city to mainly do some shoping ..
and secondary have some fun..

And we did almost exactly what we planned to except that we had only one or two hours for fun.

We were: Ahmed Sameh ElSayed Gamal (me) Ibrahim Abdul Fattah Mahmoud saa’d

I missed “el tarawe7″ + “el 3eshaa” but I prayed el Fajr of 18th Sept.
it was not a nice thing specially when you know that 17th Sept is 17th Ramadan :s

anyway, that’s what happened.
Day included nothing extra-ordinary except for the photo session we had at portsaid coast with my -almost empty- battery mobile.

And the seafood very expensive meal we had, we paid 250 LE for eftar .. !!
Our Stomaches were So Satisfied but we were logically not.

anyway..it was a nice day.

18th Sept 2008 :

I remember nothing on that day except for preparing for the Eftaar

19th Sept 2008:

CAT eftar in Nade el Nile:

Briefly and in tags:
Food wasn’t what I expected, strangly it’s the same content I dealt about.
I tried to fix the problem and I kinda did
I still don’t know how over cost did I had ?!
I leaft early to pray el tarawe7 in El Salab MosQue

I uploaded fotos for Eftar on my facebook fotos contained no food

20th Sept 2008

1st day back to school, I didn’t go It’s my rest saturday

I was keeping an eye on eftar comic comments, and it sounds to be not that comic I expected anyway, people had fun and I found out that they had a great space for talk play and bowling after I went ..!

–El Sallab MosQue: 1st Tahagod Prayer– start of last 10 days in Ramadan.
my hope of e3tkaf almost disappeared ..

21st Ramadan / September 2008

-My first lectures

-Meeting with Dr. Ahmed Amin “el 3asr” and it sounds that there is a hope to spend the coming days in El Sallab .. I only need to copy my personall ID.

-it’s el 3esha2. I did brought a copy of my ID and and my lugages and I’m now startiing my first day in e3tkaaf ..

-great 9 days and I feeling a great change after these days ..

-I just can’t find statements to describe how was these days changing !!

May be in other post ..

to be continued…

Al Salam 3lykom

This me Al Sayed Gamal, and this is my first separate post after the very bad mood/period I experienced the last 20days ..

I’m here to say that I’m responsible of everything and I’s never feeling bad towards my decisions like now.

But, as usual I’ve nothing but keep moving forward ..

And and I’m writing this post as a part of new series called corrective reactions

[Reactions] used to be a -ve word but now it sounds to be the status of my life .. so I’ve to get used to that word ..

[Sorry] This also used to be a meaningful word to me but now, specially now .. I’m feeling that sorry isn’t enough to describe how sorry and how bad I’m feeling ..

[Trying again] a very famous quote is stating something like that “be the best or die TRYING ” ..
now, I’ve a very strong feeling that I may die trying ..

[Independent] Exactly what I need now… I though that leaving my place, my town, my position and may be my country will be helpful .. and not for only me… I believe now that just -ve added value that should disappear ..
you know what, I was that close from being 100% independent and I felt so happy, unless it wasn’t that easy .. but something pulled me back, next point..
[Facing my problems] I need to learn how to face my problems .. MY problems .. and to be independent isn’t to escape

so .. based on all the above points .. I need to be interdependant ..
to change with others ..
with others, the word I always thought to be a sign of traditional and solid thinking ..

Interdependency .. My very Obvious goal ..

I’m in a life changing program ..

and 2morow will be the agenda day ..
I’ve a very busy day starts 10 AM and ends hardly on 11 PM ..
so it’s about 13 hours ..

Today 12th August 2008 is a very critical day .. [9 days left]
and I’m intending to 100% achieve today tasks .. including Phone calls, meetings, my ordinary work 6:11 PM and my development work ..
without missing any prayers ..
without over dosage of fast food

I’ll report this agenda isA 2morow 13th of this month …
ya rab .. This is my first real test after the corrective reactions..

Salam ..
