Shopping Comparison Websites
Bing vs Google Paid Placements
Google Shopping results are paid placements. But some are reporting that even Bing results are paid. Interesting that Bing would launch a campaign without checking to see what they are doing as well, perhaps this is changing and the campaign launched before the adjustments had been made.

Bing does have a disclaimer on search results for instance on a search for digital cameras, note that “Payment is NOT a factor used to rank search results in Bing.”, which implies that paid search results are included, but the results are not re-sorted based on it being a paid placement, unless you are looking at the ads on the top of the page.
There are other options if you are looking for a balanced check on price comparison:
decide.com
shopsavvy.mobi
sortable.com
For those interested Google in the shopping results shows this message on the right:
Products and offers that match your query. Google is compensated by these merchants. Payment is one of several factors used to rank these results.

Improvements to the formula are listed below:
There are three changes from version 10.3 – 11.0
1. Replacement of Hydrilla verticillata with Calzbone Cissus quadrangularis extract
2. Addition of grape skin extract
3. Doubling of vitamin D3 potency to 2000 IU per serving.
There are four changes from 11.0 – 12.0
1. Replacement of Soy lecithin with Sunflower lecithin from Germany. Anyone fearful of encountering a soy anti-nutrients now has nothing to fear.
2. Addition of Goji berry juice, 70 mg. per serving enhances antioxidant/antiaging properties of Green Vibrance.
3. The conversion of Tamarind juice and pulp powder to whole fruit powder to provide more complete nutrition in support of liver health.
4. Restoration of sea vegetables to their pre version 11.0 potencies. A shortage of Alaria at the time of manufacture of version 11.0 forced us to lower the amount of Alaria and boost the amount of Rockweed in Green Vibrance version 11.0. Supply problems have now been remedied, allowing version 12.0 to return Alaria and Rockweed to 100 mg and 50 mg respectively per serving.

What do entrepreneurs, mathematicians, software engineers, physicists, physicians, biologists, anatomists, angels, venture capitalists and bankers have in common?
MEDICAL VISUALIZATION
Entrepreneurs dream and bring the dreams to reality. Physicists invent the technology. Electrical engineers design and make the hardware. Mathematicians create the algorithms. Software engineers write the programs for computers to process the data. Physicians, biologists and anatomists interpret the images, diagnose patients and prescribe cures. Angels start the entrepreneurs on their way. Venture capitalists fund the entrepreneurs to commercial success. The bankers take care of the piles of money the entrepreneurs, angels and venture capitalists make on bringing the technology to the health care marketplace.
On December 8, 2012, the Caltech Entrepreneurs Forum presents a stimulating and revealing program on the latest in technology and entrepreneurial opportunities in medical imaging. The technology is fascinating and the opportunities boundless. Don’t miss this great program.
