Zune issues on windows 7


I’m having some issues running the zune software on Windows 7 Ultimate X32 upgraded from Windows Vista. When I first started the zune software, it wasn’t able to sync, the zune software didn't recognize that my Zune is connected.
Do you have the same problem?

I had the same problem, but now work fine for me.In short, Run as administrator.
You should close the Zune client software --> disconnect the Zune --> restart the client software.note that right click on the shortcut -> "Run as administrator".

If it still,reinstall the Zune software.Go to Zune.net to Download Zune software.Then install it.

Bing vs Google vs Yahoo: the Blind search engine test

Blind search engine test

A couple of months ago, Microsoft conducted a research study where they found search engine branding had an impact on the perceived quality of results. Now, months later, Bing is launched and people are once again ranking the quality of search results. At first, there were direct side-by-side comparisons, but of course there’s no better challenge than a double-blind experiment.

Michael Kordahi, which I feel compelled to disclose is a Microsoft employee, has set up such an experiment, dubbed “BlindSearch” which you can try here. On the site, you enter a single search query which results three sets of unbranded results. After viewing the results, you are given an option to vote on one set of results, which then reveals the provider and adds it to the tally.

At the time of writing, Google is in the lead with the tally standing at “Google: 40%, Bing: 31%, Yahoo: 29%” out of 355 votes.

Update: Approximately half an hour after posting, Bing takes a slight lead over Google. (Google: 36%, Bing: 38%, Yahoo: 26% | 641 votes)

Update 2: A thousand votes later, Google and Bing are tied. (Google: 39%, Bing: 39%, Yahoo: 22% | 1757 votes)

Update 3: Three’s the magic number, for Google. (Google: 40%, Bing: 37%, Yahoo: 23% | 2554 votes)

Update 4: Google is taking a stronger lead with another thousand votes. (Google: 43%, Bing: 32%, Yahoo: 25% | 3520 votes)

Update 5: It appears the application has exceed Yahoo API’s daily limit. Michael is aware of the problem and looking for a workaround. Yahoo results has since been fixed.

Update 6: Some people’s attempt at gaming the system has forced the tallies to be now removed.

Bing “Syndrome” ads round two: pregnancy & local bar

If you liked the first set of “Search Overload ads” for Bing, then get ready for round two, appearing soon on a big screen near you.

It appears advertisements in this series, collectively dubbed “Syndrome”, each parodies a topic directly related to each of the four strength areas for Bing. Whereas the first two ads “Hawaii” and “Cellphones” covered travel and product comparisons respectively, these two new ads “Pregnancy” and “Local bar” incorporates health and local search. Enjoy.

Oh, and I did a quick search trying to find the lyrics to the “Oklahoma” song, it’s number one result on Google, not Bing though. ;)
