I really like this new feature in Bing. On the home page it displays an image and when you move your mouse around, it pops up little facts about the image. Helps you learn a little more everyday!

Has anyone tried this in Kuwait? I’ve seen a few traffic stops around with those tiny devices near the lights!

This is an amazing tablet pc. Designed by Microsoft it seems! The app looks like a better version of OneNote. Hope I can use this on my existing tablet. Too bad mine doesn’t have multi-touch!
