Google Instant
Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type.
GOOGLE SAYS"We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type."
BENEFITS
1. faster searches
2. smarter predictions
3. instant results
*completely free in only US and canada
Google is taking on internet telephone companies like Skype by allowing users to call from its free web-based email service.
The service allows users to make calls to land lines and mobiles from inside their Gmail account.
Phoning anywhere in the US and Canada will be free until the end of the year, while calls to the UK, France, China and Germany will cost 2 cents a minute.
Until now Google offered computer-to-computer voice and video chat services.

Microsoft launched the Windows Internet Explorer BETA version on September 15,2010.
IE9 will have complete or nearly complete support for all CSS 3 selectors, border-radius CSS 3 property, faster JavaScript, and embedded ICC v2 or v4 color profiles support via Windows Color System.

Some industry experts claim that Microsoft will release IE9 as a major out-of-band version that is not tied to any particular version of Windows.
IE9 doesn't support Winows XP. Its system requirement will be Windows & or Windows Vista SP2(with Platform Update and IE8;of course)
