 Kartoo gone? - 23-1-2010 19:41:27
Kartoo, one of the first of the visual search engines, with it's particular mapping technique would appear to have died. It underwent a fairly radical change a few months ago, but the homepage is now blank and their blog isn't available either. If it has gone, it's a real shame, since it's one that I always used to point people towards. more »

Kartoo has a makeover - 11-9-2009 17:15:31
The visual multi-search engine Kartoo has had something of a makeover recently. It used to employ a genie type figure, with results appearing on the screen as larger or smaller webpages, with links between them to indicate complimentary information. That's all gone, and we're presented with a new, slicker search results screen, which although it works on the same principle is much easier to see and use. Screenshot below: There are various options you can use to change the appearance of the screen; news, sponsors and so on. A mouseover reveals a little more information about the particular resource you're... more »

Data recovery - 25-3-2010 7:55:08
Freecom biedt data recovery service : Freecom, een Mitsubishi Kagaku Media-bedrijf, introduceerde zijn Data Recovery Service, een service die speciaal is ontwikkeld om eindgebruikers de gemoedsrust te geven dat hun waardevolle informatie en herinneringen kunnen worden hersteld, ook na een crash van hun vaste schijf.
