Here I was minding my own business, running a quick image search for cars and to my surprise, I saw text ads above the images, yes Google Adwords text ads above images. Ok, this may not be new for people in other countries but I am pretty sure this is new in Australia (unless I am super behind with whats happening at Googleplex).
Not only did I see text ads, I also found extra image search functions, a drop down to find specific image sizes with another drop down to indicate what type of image you are looking for.
I believe this Google image search change will disappear soon after this post, being one of those “test features” Google play with on a daily basis. If you can’t see it on your image search screen, check out my screen shot above.
Great to see that they are looking to improve their image search, because it returns pretty bad results most of the time, for me atleast.

Most of the sites I’ve managed have used content management systems that spit out static pages.
As such, I’m become a proponent of using server side includes (SSI) as a way to manage global site components, due to their simplicity and ease-of-use.
Nothing frustrates me more than when I’m told that a simple, global change to a static web site — such as changing the copyright year — is a major update because of all the pages that will need to be touched.
“Why don’t you have these types of global elements, such as footers, set up as includes?” I often wonder to myself.
More recently however, I’ve been told that they are not an appropriate technique for managing high-traffic static sites due to the additional load they place on the server.
I’ve also been told that they are simply a little out-of-date and that web teams have moved on to other methods for managing the types of issues that arise with the use of static web pages (for example, client-side JavaScript).
I’m not an overly technical person and so if a developer tells me that SSI are not the right way to go, I don’t have a lot of ammunition with which to say otherwise.
So, my question is: are SSI an appropriate way to manage global parts of highly-trafficked static pages or have they gone the way of the splash page? Thanks for any wisdom anyone can impart.

Windows and other software programs store history about the different activities that you have performed on your computer and on the Internet. This information is stored in the system areas of your hard disk and the built-in Windows functions like ‘Clear History’ offer little protection as they can only partially delete this data.
Anyone can take a look at your history and find out what you have been doing on your computer, and this raises serious privacy concerns.
Winclear is an Internet history eraser that protects your Internet privacy by cleaning up all tracks of your Internet and computer activity. Cost is $37.00 but it is a one time fee and all future upgrades come to you completely free
