Microsoft Working to Make Bing Faster Than Google - http://clapway.com/2016/01/13/microsoft-working-to-make-bing-faster-than-google-123/

Microsoft is bringing in a Bing update that will let ou test your internet connection directly from the search engine. With Google, you need an alternate website. It looks like Microsoft will do whatever it takes to make Bing more attractive than Google’s magnanimous search engine.

Speed Test Tool on Bing Might Lure In More Users

The update gives you a live reading of your internet connection, which is important information for many users globally. Needless to say, it’s a unique feature among web browser platforms. Typing ‘internet speed test’ into the search engine will prompt a widget that will directly display internet speed readings. It also offers an overview of the user’s IP address, latency and download and upload speeds.

The company has a similar ‘Network Speed Test’ app for Windows, but this update makes it more widespread. The update has only been found on the web, but it’ll surely make its way to mobile apps and the mobile Bing site. Getting a speed test is not like looking up just anything, and Microsoft is reducing the number of steps that get you to the information you really want to know.

Microsoft Brings in Emoji Search and Snake to Get People Off Google Chrome

Microsoft is also one-upping Google by making Bing the first to support emoji search. In a time like this, this is a huge move. Bing is even incorporating the game Snake onto is platform. The corporation is obviously trying really hard to get users away from Google Chrome and inspire them to use Bing.

Will this work? Most likely not. It does, however, show that Microsoft is taking its search engine very seriously. More updates will come in and make Bing more competitive. It could one day come to replace Internet Explorer, or even become the combination of Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer to give Microsoft a signature web browser. Seeing as Bing has gotten good reviews as a standalone web platform and as an app, there’s no reason why this couldn’t do Microsoft well. 2016 could be a year full of surprises for the corporation, and it could get back into the race for the best web browser.

Microsoft Working to Make Bing Faster Than Google

Microsoft Bing Could Replace Safari and Google Search Engine - http://clapway.com/2015/11/24/microsoft-bing-has-potential-to-beat-out-google-search-engine123/

Microsoft Corporation has presented its Windows 10 Mobile Build 10586 to its ring of experts, and also currently looks approaching Apple’s iOS. The business has let loose a spruced up version of its Microsoft Bing internet search engine, that attempts to redefine the way one browses the web making use of an iPhone.

The New Bing App is Better than Safari, And Maybe Even Google

According to reviewers, the new Bing app is even more convenient than Google. It works as a barcode scanner and is very rooted on deep-linking. It can open 3rd party apps connected to any search, but it works best being used as just that: a deep linking tool. Reviewers say that users will still need to have a separate application for web browsing purposes.

Microsoft Bing Rumored to Bring in Cortana

Much like Google Voice, reviewers are hoping that the Bing application will come with Cortana as a web assistant, which will increase the value of the app. Bing and Apple seem to be going hand in hand, as even Siri will assist iPhone users with the use of Bing search.

Microsoft Bing Will Come to Android Soon

With these partnerships, it’s very possible that Apple could fuse its unpopular Safari browser with the awesome features of Bing search. The fruit of this kind of collaboration could well compete with Google. The Bing app is currently available for free at the App Store.

Bing Sticks to iPhone, and Does What Google Has Done with Android

Bing has brought in its own mobile search app for iOS. It can search for movies and let you stream them instantly, as well as search for music and have the songs play instantly. In its latest update, it makes swapping between apps easier than ever.

Bing iPhone App, Another Attempt at Getting in the Game

Bing has had a rough run with the cyber web, struggling behind bigger search engines like Google and Yahoo, but this new app hopes to make users’ lives easier by cramming all the services it can together: a web engine mixed with a travel booking tool, with a restaurant booking took and even a movie ticket purchase tool.

Bing ensures that they will enhance user experience by combining their deep knowledge of user behavior and their needs to bring the best they can. The truth is that this is just an attempt to catch up to Google, who has since its inception grown to an astronomical size.

Is there a Bing App for Android?

The announcement of the new Bing app came with no mention of a version for Android users. So far, Android phones only have access to the Bing Search app.

Microsoft Promises to Remove URLs on Bing in Fight Against Revenge Porn - http://clapway.com/2015/07/23/microsoft-promises-to-remove-urls-on-bing-in-fight-against-revenge-porn/

Microsoft has announced that it will be joining the fight against revenge porn by launching a new site to help victims take back control of images shared without their permission.

Revenge Porn and Betrayed Trust

Revenge porn isn’t a new internet trend, it’s been going on for years. In fact, many site owners are being arrested and charged with identity theft and extortion. Revenge porn is the name given to sexually explicit photographs released online by someone usually involved in the victim’s life. The act is quite different than nonconsensual pornography because identifiable details about the victim often accompany the pictures.

Unfortunately, laws are often slow to catch up to the emerging culture of the internet, and there aren’t many states out there that have laws that specifically pertain to revenge porn. Many states, like California, have amended the state’s disorderly conduct law in order to criminalize forms of revenge porn.

Google, Microsoft is Taking the Power Back

Recently, there have been a string of huge players joining in the fight against revenge porn sites, including Google and now Microsoft. Microsofts search engine, Bing, will now offer a web form that users can fill out in order to remove links that provide intimate content or information about the user without their consent. And unfortunately, as Beyonce is familiar with, deleting things off the internet is difficult to do, and you can never be sure those photos haven’t already been downloaded millions of times already. For the victim, it’s a dire and helpless situation.

Jacqueline Beauchere, chief officer of online safety at Microsoft, recently stated in a blog post that revenge porn has very damaging effects on all aspects of the victim’s life. It can negatively impair relationships and career prospects. In the blog post, Beauchere explains that this is why the company has decided to take action — even going so far as to shutting down a personal OneDrive or Xbox Live account that is hosting revenge porn.

Banding Together

Last month, Google was one of the first tech giants to implement an idea similar to Microsoft’s. Google’s program promises to remove search results that link to revenge porn. Similarly, Twitter also updated its terms to reflect that the company seriously looks down on posting any content that may be identifiable as revenge porn. More recently, they’ve begun introducing new rules and new sections of the site related to “private information” and “threats and abuse”.

Revenge porn may be gaining popularity, but it’s good to see companies banding together in order to help protect their users’ privacy. The U.K. recently ruled that revenge porn is now illegal, punishable by two years in prison, so hopefully laws in the U.S. will catch up.
