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4-It’s well known that microsoft wants to acquire yahoo and suddenly I heard the news that they withdrawn the proposal ..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:

I’m -now- using google chrome on ubuntu 9.04 without any emulators..

Here you will find the page from which you will be able to download a .deb package that matches your arch. and distro.

if you are ubuntu 9.04 like me directly download from here:

ubuntu 9.04 32 bit

I got that link from Reem Alashry who is writing the same news in her msn display message and as it was stating ..she was trying it ..

If you really want to participate to chrome, http://dev.chromium.org/Home is just a nice website that I think it’s helping new to open source developers to know exaactly where to give a hand.

one last thing to add .. I’m still convinced that Firefox with hundreds of addons and extensions is still #1 ..

And I can’t give it up even for chrome .. who is -so far- showing a great performance

Psssst…. read that .. http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-chrome-logo-design-inspiration/4414/

Oh, before I go .. as I said before this is going to be a techno-personal blog so here is the personal part ..

I deactivated my facebook account.

Yes,  We – Arab an Egyptians- are social ENOUGH .. we don’t need any social web apps, including Facebook

SCS System is done, Special thanks goes to Ahmed Sameh Patience

My Exams are done Al 7amd lellah

I caught cold that I wasn’t able to go out of my home, even for prayers .. !

I lost my /home (All new data since  June 06 year was there) .. including all my master pieces :’(
hopefully I’ve some of them online, but last version of 7-12 didn’t survive :’(; Unless I think I’ve the key changes somewhere online  .. still searching ..

isA, I’m giving sessions this vacation with depiak keep your eye on .

I’m preparing for a nice deal with Faculty of Medicine for PixiCAT.

I don’t think that I’ll run The flash workshop, Eng.Sara Gomaa will give it.

I’m taking -for the first time in my life- courses that’s related directly to hardware, one of them is PLC in Jeelcom.
Side note: I don’t have any commitment to IT courses I hardly attend 2 classes in row; That I’m afraid to have the same attitude in these hardware courses..!

I during the SCS finish Phase checked all the tasks in my Google tasks and I was sooooo happy.

I’m making something called the CAT Activity protocol “Project Orientation Approach discipline”

I’ll be holding a public meeting & including dream team is essential On Feb 1st isA, I’m still not sure confirming dates with everyone.
This remembers me with Gaza, which is making a shiver go my body every time I feel how disabled I felt all this war long ..!

I had 2 meetings with “Echo” Family in Architecture Dept. in our Faculty and we are going to have a uinion with 90degree and goodTime families , may be this union will be a start for great & serious union.

I’m not healthy enough I bought bing bong racquets for me and biko which are supposed to motivate us work on our fitness issues.

I’m now feeling like my blog stinks .. and 2.7 is so nice ..

PixiCAT -as shown in google reader- is more active than others which is very nice thing  “masha2 Allah”

I’m making my 1st multitouch screen it’s so easy you have to try it if you are curious how to do it you must search google and youtube how to do it ..
I’ll share it with CSED and other friends like Mohammed Safwat; and pure programming issues may be will discussed with depiak isA

Isn’t It wiered to keep calling your blog a personal blog when it’s no so personal, simply everyone is looking at it ..!
–So wieeeeered .!

Enough for now

7-12 framework now has better scaffolding and is clean urls [URL rewriting]

I’ve been working on it the last days but the very strange thing is .. I’m working shallow issues ..
Mainly, I forgot that seven12 have a MODEL problem .. Major problem .. it’s not yet an active record based one ..
so ..It’s not that handy if you tried to code your application if you didn’t not start from scaffolding then modifying, and in case you scaffolded you table you will still need to understand the fact of each model is a file and a different class which is -now- sounds so illogical to bind them all to a parent “doing a singleton connection–which almost nothing” class ..!
Sooo ..
I decided to code “veryActiveRecord” which will work on the 2-ways
1-it’ll enable you to have the row to object model
2-It’ll have the Object to row model through what I call “inversed scaffold”
Ex.

//normal active records ..
//assuming the table users exist “note the convention of plural table names will be fixed on scaffolding part ..”
//users table contains the four columns / fields id name email which is INT PK auto_increment NOT, varchar(50), varchar(200), respectively
$values=array(id=>NULL,
‘name’=>’Ahmed’,
‘email’=>’ahmed@ahmed.com’);
$user = new User();
$user->add($values);

//this will work exactly like sending the query:
//insert into users values (NULL,’Ahmed’,'ahmed@ahmed.com’);
//user class contain relation parameter “class variable” describing the relation to other tables..
//which will be as high leveled as ROR “Ex. belongs to and has many ..”

Next is the inversed scaffolding ..

//my plan is to have no table sql already designed..
//developer will design how to handle the fields before creation
//inside the users class
$relations=array(‘has many

users

‘,’belongs to

groups

‘);
$id = new intField();
$name = new strField(“unique”);
$email = new strField(“searchable”);
//and I’ll copy a feature from DJango calle s=dbsynch you will be able a fully compatible to your code SQL which can be directly or indirectly “copy paste to your console/phpMyAdmin” executed .

…

Well, It sounds a lot of code to write ..
but It sounds also sooo interesting when it’s done -that way- as it is a challenge for me
and I just love challenges ..

NOTE:
I’ll pause working on scaffolding for the moment ..
clean URLs will remain with the same procedure
better mail and better template engine is what I’m planning for ..
and there was a very important thing to talk about which I forgot while writing that topic ..
Make a prayer to remember ..
إن شاء الله ..
7-12-2008 will be a nice release isA ;may be the 1.0 release ..!

I’m installing NOW ubuntu 64 on my laptop from the live CD that ubuntu sent me
This is the first time to do this kind of installation on my laptop and I wanted to share the experience
I Can do almost everything .. everything de includes:

Chatting
browsing
coding
editin
mounting my windows partitions and my USB Flash
Blogging -under browsing :p
I opened GIMP

and media player ..

While installation .. I tried this kind of installation but I never tried it with internet connection and on my own machine where I have all the resources to enjoy the while installing mode !!

Exceptionally Awsome that I thought that it’s much more enjoying to work … while installation

Screen shot

pidigin and chat
Mozilla for browsing

oh, I noticed that the very personal passwords may be somehow secured but you will need to change them frequently based on your personal status !!
