Recent News

-Lifebrowser:
Lifebrowser was created by Eric Horvitz from Microsoft and it is an application designed to show every important event, emails, photos, website browsing and search history that occurred to the user. This is similar to Facebook but is also different from Facebook. A reason why it’s different from Facebook is because it does not need to be checked often. Lifebrowser also sets all the information in time order. Something called a “volume control” was created so that the user could change how important a topic is. Horvitz downloaded information of his life going back nearly 20 years! He could see the name of the person who sent him his first Email in 1997 and family photographs from a specific event. Lifebrowser can even recognize a photo and tell if it was taken indoors or outdoors.
