Google Search Engine is override By Yahoo ,Bing

A Google search might not be your best bet if you want to find what you’re looking for online, new data suggests. Even though 66 percent of all searches in July were conducted using Google’s search engine, more than 80 percent of searches conducted on both Yahoo and Bing were successful, compared to only 68 percent of Google searches. Experian Hitwise, the online competitive intelligence company that released the figures last Thursday, defines a successful search as one that results in a person actually clicking through to a Web site.

The report comes just weeks after a debate between tech experts about whether or not Microsoft should sell Bing. Columnists at The New York Times wrote that Bing has become a “distraction for the software giant” considering Bing and sites it powers such as Yahoo only control about 27 percent of the U.S. market. 
 Computerworld volleyed back that 27 percent of the market is still “a tremendous revenue opportunity” and that ”if Microsoft abandons Bing, it might as well just about abandon its entire online presence, because aside from Hotmail, Bing is its only substantial Internet service.” The Experian Hitwise report says that July was the third straight month that Bing-powered searches increased. They accounted for 28 percent of the online searches conducted in July.

Minecraft arrives in Android Market – optimised for Xperia Play only.

If you’re a Minecraft addict , you’re not alone, in fact you’re part of over 11 million registered players, you may recall that at E3, Minecraft announced the news that they would soon be making its way into the mobile world.

 Yesterday, that news was realised as Minecraft: Pocket Edition has just been launched on the Android Market.The first version (Alpha 0.1) will focus on the creative aspects of Minecraft. We have tried to put in the features that make sense for playing on a mobile device while still keeping the core of the Minecraft experience. You will be able to select blocks on the touchscreen or just scroll through them with the circle and square buttons on the Xperia Play device. The first version also supports multi-player on a local wireless network allowing you to create a world and invite friends to build together.

Some of the features in this release include:

• Randomized worlds
• Build anything you can imagine
• Build with 36 different kinds of blocks
• Invite and play with friends to your world (local wireless network)
• Save multi-player worlds on your own phone

Here comes the bad news, if you’re an Android user with a Droid handset that is anything but the Xperia Play then unfortunately you’re going to need to wait, as the new release itself is for now ‘Xperia PLAY Optimized’ only, meaning that its yours (at a price of $6.99), provided you have the Xperia PLAY.

For the rest of us Minecraft fans in the Android camp, although there’s thus far no word on an official non-Xperia PLAY release anytime soon, we’d be happy to place a bet that the app won’t stay Xperia PLAY exclusive for long, whether that be an official release or a download of the less legitimate variety.

Apple delivers first update for Mac OS X Lion

Apple today issued the first update for OS X Lion, the new operating system it launched four weeks ago.  Mac OS X 10.7.1 comes in two versions for client systems: One for the new MacBook Air and Mac Mini that Apple refreshed last month, another for all other machines running the new operating system. Apple said both updates fix problems users have encountered while playing video in Safari, improves the reliability of Wi-Fi connections, and quashes a bug that silenced audio when using routing data from a Mac via optical or HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) adaptors.

Several MacBook Air- and Mac Mini-specific problems were dealt with the update targeting those new systems, including one that supposedly deals with display flickering on the Air and another that is supposed to boost the speed of data transfers from the SD card slot on the Mini. Users who quickly grabbed 10.7.1 reported different results for other problems that have garnered attention on Apple's support forum. In a very long and popular thread -- viewed over 46,000 times -- with the title "Lion randomly crashes - black screen" some users said that 10.7.1 had eliminated their BSODs (Black Screen of Death) while others said theirs persisted.

What's notable about 10.7.1 is its small size relative to typical Apple updates: 10.7.1 weighed in at just 17.4MB on several iMacs, compared with as much as 453MB for Mac OS X 10.6.8, the update to Snow Leopard Apple shipped in late June. Lion is the first Mac OS X edition that deals out smaller "delta" updates, ones which deliver only changes. The change to delta updates will most affect Mac owners with slow or heavily-metered connections to the Internet.

By shifting to delta updates, Apple is following in the footsteps of its OS rival Microsoft, which has long shipped smaller patches and bug fixes. Microsoft's most recent Patch Tuesday, for instance, included eight updates to Windows XP that added up to 15.9MB worth of downloads. There are apparently no security patches included with the 10.7.1 update.
