FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted July 22, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 22, 2014 Microsoft Bing's daily updated photo backgrounds for the search engine are cool and popular. You can now browse and download all the wallpapers in Bing's history at the official Homepage Gallery, all for free. Recent backgrounds are displayed in a chronological thumbnailed gallery, which you can also sort by different filters such as: Categories: Travel, Nature, Animal, Work/Culture, Space, Science Tags: Modern Structure, Old Structure, Mammals, Plant/Tree, Body of Water, Bird Holidays: Christmas, 4th of July, Cinco de Mayo, Arbor Day, Memorial Day, Earth Day Colors: (includes a color bar) Places: (includes a country list) The gallery also has a wallpaper pack of some of the Bing team's favorites. Bing's photographs have been a particular hit, enough that you might want to use them as auto-updating desktop wallpapers or even rotating Google backgrounds.

Rich-M Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah but I imagine you have to use Bing to have this and I stamp that useless thing out like a bug wherever I see it! Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted July 23, 2014 Author FPCH Admin Posted July 23, 2014 No, you actually don't, Rich. I have no use for bing search either.

IceMan37 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Oh wait. I use Bing. Why? Because it's not google lol. Actually I use both, but thank you Cindy for the post and yeah Bing has some absolutely super classy high quality images in the wallpaper gallery. Quote
Rich-M Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Really? I have tried Bing now and then when I didn't realize it had usurped my choice namely Google and known right away it sucks as a search source. When I first started with Pale Moon browser I tried "DuckDuckGo" and finally gave up because I wasn't seeing the full range of choices, same as Bing. Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted August 10, 2014 Author FPCH Admin Posted August 10, 2014 I never find anything I'm looking for using Bing. :huh: Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
Rich-M Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah I really do not understand why Google is so much better than any of the others but the difference is night and day and for me always has been. Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted August 10, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted August 10, 2014 The only thing I like about Bing is the maps. I think they are the best. Google changed theirs and it just isn't very good. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Rich-M Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Excellent point Bob I had forgotten about that one. I really don't know about the desktop wallpaper because I still use Webshots Desktop which has about 3 thousand pro photographs in it! Quote

Rich-M Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 You could have something there....I was fine with "DuckDuckGo" until I was looking for specific items at a price. Quote
