I really like my security pattern on the Android phone (Nexus 1). Basically I can draw a pattern to unlock my phone rather than using some pin number or password. I don’t like password or pin as it is just annoying to quickly input on my phone with the keypad. I’ve seen many friends using [...]

I was reading Kara Swisher’s post on All Things D about the Bing demo at Microsoft. I decided to give it a show compared to Google. To me Bing fails very simply. I will be the first to admit I’m a complete narcissist when it comes to search engines. If I put in my name [...]
