Google introduced some new features which makes searching from your PC so much better. The first feature is Voice search, something that has been on the
mobiles for a long time. Then there is a Search by image feature, which
does what we say and is amazingly good at it and suitable to use too.
That is Google’s newest attempt to speed up browsing as well, which is
called Instant Pages.
Second one is
Image search. Just go to the Google Images and simply drag and drop an
image on search box. It works rather you drag the image from a different
page in the browser or from your own desktop. Firefox and Chrome
extensions are also accessible; they put the search Image option in the
right click menu. Another feature “Instant Pages” leverages on Google’s
predictive algorithms. It tries to guess which of the search results you
will tick and in background it renders and loads that page. So, when
someone clicks on that link, it will open right away.
Voice search
is rolling out currently in English on Google. You will need the new
Chrome browser to use it. To activate your Voice search, just hit the
microphone icon in the search field and tell Google what you’re looking
for.

The
actor who voiced Mickey Mouse for more than 30 years has died, with his
wife - who is the voice of Minnie Mouse - by his bedside.
Wayne Allwine, 62, died on Monday of complications from diabetes, the Walt Disney Company said.
"Wayne dedicated his entire professional life to Disney," the Disney
chief executive Robert Iger said. "Over the last 32 years, he gave so
much joy, happiness and comfort to so many around the world by giving
voice to our most beloved, iconic character, Mickey Mouse."
Born in Glendale, California, Allwine joined Disney in 1966 when he took
a job in the mail room. He went on to work in the sound effects
department and began voicing the company’s main mouse in 1977 after
using his natural falsetto to win an open audition.
He was only
the third man behind Mickey's voice. The first was Walt Disney himself,
who spoke for the mouse from 1928 to 1947, before passing the role to
Jimmy MacDonald, the studio's sound effects wizard. MacDonald had
already been Allwine's mentor in the studio and told him after passing
on the reins: "Just remember kid, you're only filling in for the boss."
"Mickey's the real star," Allwine said later. "You know you just have
to love the little guy while you have him, because he won’t be yours
forever."
Allwine's first voice work as Mickey was for
television but also provided the mouse's voice for movies including
"Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983), "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", (1988),
and "The Prince and the Pauper" (1990) and for Disney theme parks, radio
and live stage events.
Allwine is survived by his wife, Russi
Taylor, whom he married in Hawaii in 1981, and is one of Hollywood's
most famous voice actresses. She has been the voice of Minnie since
1986.
World's tallest woman dies in Indiana at age 53
A woman who grew to be 7 feet, 7 inches tall and was recognized as the
world's tallest female died Wednesday, a friend said. She was 53.
Sandy Allen, who used her height to inspire schoolchildren to accept
those who are different, died at a nursing home in her hometown of
Shelbyville, family friend Rita Rose said.
The cause of death was not yet known. Allen had been hospitalized in
recent months as she suffered from a recurring blood infection, along
with diabetes, breathing troubles and kidney failure, Rose said.
In London, Guinness World Records spokesman Damian Field confirmed
Wednesday that Allen was still listed as the tallest woman. Some Web
sites cite a 7-foot-9 woman from China.
Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan
Na kahin hai zameen
Na kahin aasmaan
Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan
Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan
Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein
Aisi gehraiyaan
Aisi tanhaiyaan
Aur main sirf main
Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan
Na kahin hai zameen
Na kahin aasmaan
Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan
Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan
Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein
Aisi gehraiyaan
Aisi tanhaiyaan
Aur main sirf main
Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya
It's all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don't need
I lust for after no disaster can touch, touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before
Come feed the rain...
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don't need
I lust for after no disaster can touch, touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before
Come feed the rain...
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
