After being embroiled in a controversy with Google over the search domain, Microsoft’s Bing has added a new feature for its users.

Reportedly, a new location tool has been added by the search engine, which will help ascertain a where a person is at the moment.

“Bing now makes use of user location to change the way search results are ordered. This means if you search for something like a restaurant, it will guess that you're looking for a match nearby where the search is being made and will automatically serve up items that fall into that category,” said a company official.

The feature is a navigational feature that was launched by its arch rival Google, in the same month last year.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has fired two high ranking Russian space officials and has formally reprimanded the chief of national space agency, after the failure of three navigation satellites earlier this month.

The decision to remove Viktor Remishevsky, deputy chief of Russian Federal Space agency and Vyacheslav Filin, vice president of rocket manufacturing company RSC Energia, was taken after getting the investigation report about the failure on Wednesday.

The unmanned space craft of the U.S. Air force has completed its classified mission and will be returning to earth after a stay of more than seven months in Earth's orbit, the Air Force officials told in a brief statement released on 30th November.

Landing will be at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California and is expected to take place any time between Friday and Monday, depending on the weather and other technical considerations.
