GoogleMaps vs BingMaps: Way To Go Competition!

I rarely write about the latest news in the internet. In addition to many popular websites that discuss, I also do not have the ability to write on this topic. I had no talent for writing.

However, the latest update about google and microsoft with maps product
from each other makes me wanting to write. Last week, I saw a video presentation by Blaise Aguera at TED event. Honestly, I amazed
because he managed to make Augmented-reality into searchable maps. Please see the video presentation to see how it work. After seeing the video, I feel like microsoft is starting to catch up in this competition. Well,
competition was able to make people creative!

Talk about creative, this morning I was shocked by the news of the latest updates from GoogleMaps. It looks like they too starting to counter it. Indeed, these features are not yet as smooth as bing. It doesn’t have video sync and it can’t see inside building yet. However, new features that will be announced by both Google and Microsoft in this competition is worth the wait.

Find Your Computer Driver Easily

During several months having new PC, I was not aware of my operating system security. I did install anti virus, but after a while, my anti virus is not up-to-date. This causes my PC is infected with some virus, so I have to reinstall my operating system.

I tried to install my operating system. Replace the old Windows XP with the new Windows Vista. Because I think Windows Vista is more powerful than XP. And I hope Windows Vista is more resistant to virus attacks than XP.

The installation went smoothly until the time to install driver. I cannot find computer driver that match with my new operating system. After googling around, I find a site that provide the application that can scan our system then find the correct driver. The application has a huge database of computer driver with driver updates for many operating system.

You just have to download the application, purchase subscription key, then it will download drivers automatically and upgrade them in just 2 minutes. You don’t have to worry about the application security, because it is 100% safe.

With over 5 million drivers in the database, this application can assure the optimization of your computer performance. It also can backup your existing driver, so it’s easy to find when you need it sometime.
