Windows Live Search Images facial recognition filters are probably the coolest thing to be added to search since Google came along. It’s quite impressive and very addicting! The new filters allow you to search for a face, a portrait photo, or for black and white photos.

According to a good number of recent posts, people are starting to get really mad because all of their email is being deleted by the OneCare product! According to reports, if OneCare detects an email with malware in the attachment, it quarantines the entire Outlook PST file!
