Bing vs. Google
selecting Microsoft as your default browser. Look for the little blue AI pop-up on the right side of the page after you search. Where Google Still Wins Though Bing may have brought its search abilities closer to Google’s, if not matched the tech giant, there’s no question that Google still dominates the marketplace and likely will for years to come — no matter how good Bing THE SHOWDOWN IS ON — AGAIN!
For years, most people have written off Bing as a dead search engine. Sure, it existed in the 2010s — but why would you use it when the king of all search engines, Google, was available? Most people didn’t. According to Business Insider, Google has cornered about 93% of the search engine market, while Bing holds a measly 3%. But that may be about to change. If you haven’t heard, Bing is back — apparently better than ever. This winter, Microsoft unveiled a new version of the long-laughed-at search engine powered by its artificial intelligence partner OpenAI. Now, the renovated Bing will face off against Google’s AI chatbot, the newly launched Bard. The Perks of the New Bing Early reviews of Bing’s updates gave several features the thumbs up, including its extra- large query box, which lets you type in an entire paragraph to provide the search
engine background information on your question. Reviewers also enjoy the detailed, personalized, AI-powered answers alongside Bing’s search results. With Bing, you can customize the AI voice that answers your questions — a fun upgrade from generic Google. There are even a few computer geeks out there (like Mark Hachman of PCWorld) who picked Bing over Google before the update. Hachman cites Bing’s excellent image search filters, lucrative Microsoft Rewards, and the fact that it “delivers slightly more useful information

How to Receive SSD Benefits While Employed 3 Things to Expect at a Disability Hearing WHAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE FOR
After your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application and request for reconsideration have been denied, disability hearings occur. At this point, you’re most likely frustrated and discouraged. Yet, at this stage, you have the highest chance of being granted disability benefits. These hearings allow you to convey your condition better and why you need these benefits. Although you can represent yourself, you’ll have a better chance of winning your case if you hire an experienced attorney. No matter what, you should be prepared for what will happen during a disability hearing.
to bring family or friends into the hearing. Instead, your attorney will accompany you, and you’ll meet with the administrative law judge (ALJ), the judge’s aide, and possibly an expert witness. The hearing will occur in a small conference room, and the judge won’t wear a judge’s robe. Questions You May Be Asked While we can’t predict the exact questions the judge may ask you, you should prepare for any questions about your symptoms, abilities, medical treatment, past work experience, and how your daily life has been affected by your disability. For example, you may be asked any of the following:
•
How long are you able to stand before needing to rest? Do you need help getting dressed or with personal hygiene?
•
How You Should Answer Always be honest. These judges have seen countless cases, and they can spot a lie from a mile away. While honesty is vital, so is being authentic and detailed. Simply answering “yes” or “no” will not convey your case thoroughly. Be as specific as possible to provide the complete picture of your situation. The ALJ will likely not accept or reject your case immediately. Instead, you will receive your judgment in the mail 3–4 weeks later. If you plan on having a disability hearing, you want to increase your chances of success by hiring a skilled attorney. Our team at Di Bartolomeo Law Office is here to help you.
