Bing

On June 3rd Microsoft launched its new search engine Bing. While I haven't been able to make the jump from Google to Bing, there is one feature about Bing that I L-O-V-E. Every day the search engine adds a new background image. Generally, the images are of places around the world. The images are consistently amazing.

I found myself always adding them as my desktop wallpaper at work, so I spent a couple of hours writing some code that downloads the days image and sets it as my wallpaper. I have slowly been building an impressive repository of the photos. Here is my top 5 from the last 6 weeks:

5) Cinque Terre, Italy




4) Moorea Island, French Polynesia




3) Chocolate Hills, Phillipines




2) Preikestolen, Norway




1) Pemmukale Tavertine Pools, Turkey
