Welcome to a second peek at MSN’s new search technology. What do we have under the hood? Our new algorithmic search engine with a few more features and a bigger index than last time you visited this site. We used your comments to make it better so give it a spin and tell us what you think now.
A working preview of the new MSN Search. Worth a quick visit
‘Kcot kcit kcot kcit’ is the sound clocks make as they go back one hour, as mine here have just done. So welcome to winter ( ‘winter’ being a bit of a relative term depending on how cold it’s going to get where you live, I guess) 2004. Have a good one, anyway.
Having only recently realised that the latest Hardtalk interview is always made available on the BBC’s site, I now see that the BBC’s ‘flagship’ current affairs show Newsnight also has the most recent programmes there for the taking.
Both Hardtalk’s Tim Sebastian and Newsnight’s Jeremy Paxman possess semi-legendary interview and questioning styles that can make even the most seasoned guests, political and otherwise, sometimes appear to want to run away and hide.
Lies are not accepted, and resistance is futile.
These shows are both worth watching if you are into in-depth news, international current affairs, and serious interviews (and incidentally I suspect that if you are an American, ‘Newsnight’ will particularly interest you with its direct style and very different to the US networks slant on the world).
Meanwhile, talking about the BBC and the US, there is an interesting Election 2004 section here.
The Google Desktop beta. Search your own computer. Well, some of it. Or in my case none of it (PGP disks).
