Cool new feature in IE

Don't know if I have showed anyone in the family this but the new version of IE (Internet explorer) has these things called accelerators. Basically it allows you to view something without having to go to the website directly. For example, I took a CPU on TigerDirect and used the Newegg Accelerator to find how much the item was on Newegg. This particular CPU is the same on both websites however, TigerDirect does not offer free shipping. That's one thing accelerators wont show but you can get the idea of where these things can go. At least I hope so. If not I can post more stuff about this.

Another thing with accelerators is that you can highlight a news article, and click post to blog with blogger (this website) or even Microsoft's blog site through MSN/Bing/Hotmail. I'm going to continue to play around with these while in class. Teacher is trying to teach us about how important technology is and is somehow fascinated that you can hook up a notebook to a projector.
