New Recipe Search Feature on Google

Google adds new recipe search feature to its page where it only gets you the pages regarding the recipe from numerous recipe website’s and also directs the users towards the cooking directions in relation to the searched item as the feature is only based on the dish name and ingredients.

It also provides a menu on the left hand side of the page for the users to filter by cooking time, calories, food type, ingredients and occasion therefore it reduces infinite search results for any recipe item by only showing the pages in regard to the recipe but not on other details like about the chef/ his cooking shows/  any restaurants/ history and definitions of the recipe. In addition the recipes will also have star ratings and user reviews.

Intel’s Thunderbolt Data Transfer Technology

Thunderbolt is Intel’s new IO port/ data transfer technology with a speed of 10 Gbps which allows you to transfer full length HD movie in less than 30 seconds or can make a backup of MP3 which is playable continously about 8760 h in just ten minutes. This technology was first introduced during 2009 named Light Peak. It was designed to transmit data through thin glass cables as it is based on fiber optics.

The ports speed is based on Intel’s PCI Express since the port is powered by a controller chip which unites PCI Express and existing Display port protocols for transmitting data and video in both ways through a single cable. This data transfer technology is going to be first available on newly released Apple’s MacBook Pro Laptops which uses a mini display port jack which is compatible with all other existing display ports and adapters.
