19.12.2007 Upgrade Your Site's Authentication with the New ASP.NET 2.0 Membership API
In its first release, ASP.NET introduced forms authentication. This provided a powerful framework for handling user authentication in a secure fashion and with an easy-to-use API. The core of forms authentication hasn't changed in ASP.NET 2.0, so most of the tricks and techniques remain usable. However, a lot of work has been done in ASP.NET 2.0 to expose a new membership system that makes it even easier to create more powerful systems for user authentication and management. When you explore the basics of the provider model (upon which this new membership system is based) and its tight integration with forms authentication, you'll inevitably wonder: how does this affect my existing code and database of users and roles?

25.1.2006Bing cashback exploit discovered, Microsoft sends in lawyers
A Bing cashback vulnerability has been discovered by Samir Meghani of the Bountii Team. The flaw exists due to a software API oversight that allows
users to fake transactions to Bing. Currently, Bing does not detect these faked transactions. The flaw affects both the customer and merchant.
According to Samir, in his original posting, "merchants have a few options for reporting, but Bing suggests using a tracking pixel. Basically, the
merchant adds a tracking pixel to their order confirmation page, which will report the the transaction details back to Bing." Samir detailed that the
process was flawed but didn't pin point exactly how to generate fake transactions. Bing Cashback is an initiative that pays people to search with
Bing.

Bing takes a little more market share from Google
Microsoft's newest search engine, Bing, has gained a little more traction in the fight against Google's web search dominance. Bing took an
8.23% cut of US web searches for the month of June which is up from Microsoft's previous search engine which served only 7.81% percent of searches
for May. Microsoft is refusing to let Google win the online search wars and is promoting Bing with online and television advertisements. Microsoft
is still investing heavily and the latest rumor is that it still considers partnering with Yahoo as a viable option to gain a stronger foothold in the
search engine market.

Microsoft drops Kumo, rebrands to Bing
Microsoft has officially dropped the codename "Kumo" from its rebranding of its Live Search to help compete against search engine giant Google, by
giving Live Search a new name. The newest name will be "Bing" instead of "Kumo". The new ad campaign will be placed on TV, radio, Internet,
newspapers and other media to outlets with the new branding. The new $80 to $100 million ad campaign, according to AdvertisingAge, will not
directly attack Google, Yahoo, or even Ask.com by name, but instead "Bing" ads will try to convince users to use "today's search engines".
Microsoft believes they have the edge in the new search engine, indicating that 42% of all first query searches need to be refined.

You can also use it to compare things such as flight information, maps or different shopping websites.

Everybody knows about Microsoft's recent re-branding and re-engineering of Live Search, Bing, and how it has recently become available for the
public to use. There was certainly a big fuss kicked up over this; there was an immense amount of speculation about 'Kumo' beforehand, and
many people had their own ideas on what it could be. Now that everything is cleared up, the initial launch hype has died down a bit, and the rumors
are gone, the question remains... how will Bing do against Google? Or, perhaps just as importantly... how do Google feel about it?

Microsoft updates Bing to stop free porn
Microsoft has already updated its new search engine, Bing, to halt complaints from network administrators about the video clip preview feature. Built
into the search engine to give it the edge over its competitors, the feature allows users to search for videos, hovering over the video to get a small
preview of what the user can expect to see. This has upset a lot of network administrators who want to block sexual content from being watched in the
work place. Bing has been updated with stricter filter options that disable video previews, but as a temporary fix, Microsoft has released a string
of code for administrators to enforce the strictest search settings.
