New Live Search Homepage Revealed

authoradmin | July 31, 2008

The Live Search team have just blogged about an update to the main Live Search homepage at http://www.live.com/.

As you can see in the above picture it is a very graphical page now with a high quality picture that not only contains the live search box we have seen in the past but there is also hotspots that you can click on to learn more about the region, object, thing in the photo background.

The new design features background images that will change frequently, augmented with what we call "hotspots." These interactive areas highlight parts of the image and help you explore search results related to the highlighted area. Users who have tested this new home page have found it both engaging and a great place to start a search.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Giveaway

authoradmin | April 17, 2008

Yes that is right - I have a sealed and original copy of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars to give away and it is going to be the prize in a small contest I want to conduct here at WindowsObserver.com.

So what is the contest - a little bit of graphic design.  I am in need of a new graphic that I can use for banner displays, stickers, etc. It should be something that reflects the site and its relationship to tech stuff, Windows, etc.

I ask that you come up with a design and submit it to etgraphic@windowsobserver.com. It should be high quality PNG graphic so that I can convert and resize it without loss of detail.

I will then select the top three submissions and the visitors to this blog will select the ultimate winner via a on-site ballot.

So have any ideas? I am looking forward to seeing what everyone has to offer.
