Google Search AI Mode gets support for data visualization and custom charts by Aditya Tiwari Google announced it is rolling out support for data visualizations and graphs for finance-related queries in Google Search's AI Mode. Introduced last month at the Google I/O 2025 keynote, the feature lets you analyze complex datasets and create custom charts simply using natural language prompts. The updated AI Mode lets you compare and analyze information over a specific period, Google explained. It generates interactive graphs and provides a comprehensive explanation for your questions. AI Mode utilizes Gemini's multimodal capabilities and multi-step reasoning approach to comprehend the question's intent while accessing historical and real-time information relevant to the question. For instance, instead of manually researching individual companies and their stock prices, you can use AI Mode to compare the stock performance of different companies for a specific year. Once the graph is generated, you can choose the desired time period using the mouse cursor and ask follow-up questions based on the data presented. These new data visualizations for finance queries are available to users who have enabled the AI Mode experiment in Labs. AI Mode was introduced earlier this year as an experimental feature in the US. The feature is an upgraded version of AI Overviews, and Google closely worked with AI power users through the initial development process. It uses the “query fan-out” technique to perform multiple related searches across subtopics and different data sources, then combines them to come up with a comprehensive response. Google updated AI Mode last month to use a custom version of the latest Gemini 2.5 model. It added several new features, including Deep Search, live capabilities, agentic capabilities of Project Mariner, a new shopping experience, and the ability to add personal context by linking Google apps. The search giant is planning to turn AI Mode into its bread and butter. It has begun testing ads for the feature, which will appear below and be integrated into AI Mode responses where relevant. -

Guys, you should find another way to promote your deals... It's the third article in the last months that promote this deal for an upgrade from 10. Considering that upgrade from 10 to 11 is free it's a total non-sense. -

Store should be a shrine of useful applications, vetted and verified. Easily sorted by publisher. Windows should start with not much installed and have things as options in the store. Not the wild west mess that it is. You could delete 95%+ of the crap on there and no one would notice. They need to add a better UI to the updates, it's awful right now. -

Obsidian 1.9.2 brings breaking changes, UI improvements and several bug fixes by David Uzondu Obsidian 1.9.2 (Desktop) is now live, bringing some significant updates, especially if you have been using the Bases feature. If you're not familiar with Markdown, it's a simple way to write formatted text using a plain text editor; Obsidian is a free editor that lets you create and link notes using Markdown files stored right on your own computer. Obsidian is free to use, but if you support the project with a Catalyst license, you get access to early builds. Version 1.9.2 is in Early Access right now, so you'll need a Catalyst license to try it out This new version introduces some major breaking changes to Bases, so you'll want to pay attention here. The developers have overhauled the formula syntax and the .base file format itself. If you're using Obsidian Sync or sharing your vault across multiple devices, the team strongly recommends upgrading all your devices at the same time to dodge any annoying sync issues with files using different syntaxes. The new formula syntax in Bases is designed to be more flexible and easier to use, and it should feel familiar if you code in JavaScript. For instance, functions are now object-oriented; instead of writing contains(file.name, "Books"), you would now use file.name.contains("Booksou can also chain functions together, like property.split(' ').sort()[0].lower(). Other highlights include: Property names are no longer wrapped in backticks (`). Instead, to reference properties with spaces or special characters, the syntax is note["Property Name"] There is a new type system which provides greater control when writing formulas. New functions, such as link, date and list for converting a value to a different type. New file properties: file.path, file.links (a list of all internal links in this file), and file.tags (a list of all tags in this file, including frontmatter). Some functions have been replaced by comparison operators. For example, dateBefore(date1, date2) is now date1 < date2. Date modifications are now much simpler. Instead of dateModify(date, string), you can use date + string, for example, date("01/01/2025") + "1 year" For those wondering, the Bases feature was introduced back in Obsidian 1.9.0 as a way to turn notes into structured databases. You can learn more about the updated syntax here. Alongside these syntax changes, the .base file format has been updated for better extensibility, including a new properties section for configurations like displayName. There are some smaller improvements too, like Bases now showing the number of results in the current view and the operator dropdown for filters becoming searchable. Outside of Bases, the update brings fixes for the following: Tags view: Fixed "Show nested tags" showing the full tag name (e.g. #parent/child) File explorer: Fixed "Move folder to..." menu item not showing in context menu. Bases: Fixed view not closing after deleting the file. Bases: Fixed codeblock not rendering when "Indent with tabs" is enabled. On a related note, the creator of Markdown, John Gruber, recently shared his thoughts on rumors about Apple Notes potentially adding Markdown export. While he had reservations about Apple Notes becoming a full-blown Markdown editor, he seemed to think an export option would be useful. If the rumors are true, users will be able to easily export notes from Apple Notes and edit them in editors like Obsidian. -

Firefox with uBlock Origin is better IMO.

Question
ScottKin
Ok - I'll fess-up....
...I have a fondness for FrontPage that goes as far back as before Vermeer Technologies was acquired by Microsoft (haven't you wondered what the "vti" extensions referred to? :blink: Now you do! ;) ), and I've used it for my main site for ages.
I've had a yen for scrapping the current site and using another Web/HTML Editor, specifically moving towards Dreamweaver. An email conversation with Chris Pirillo (of LockerGnome.com fame) has, in essence, smacked me in the head for sticking with FrontPage, so I have an even stronger impetus in re-working the entire site.
So, fellow Neowinians - What HTML Authoring software would you suggest that I migrate to? I don't care about retaining the current site's format & schema, so anything is pretty much open.
I know what you're thinking: USE NOTEPAD!! - Well, I've been there and done that ages ago, but with all that I have going on these days (18-month-old Son with Cystic Fibrosis, my own battle with Fibromyalgia & Degenerative Disc Disease and more than I dare to disclose here right now...) I don't have the time to manually create Web content - hence, my desire to move forward.
If I get decent responses to this inquiry, then I also might consider putting-up a poll consisting of the top nominations. I'm not against using a little Flash animation here and there, but I think that Flash is "so last-week" and very over-rated - but I'm open to suggestions.
Additionally: if you're a FrontPage user or a FrontPage fan, give me reasons why I should stick with FrontPage.
PLEASE: This is an honest enquiry, so I would appreciate it if smart-alec comments would be kept to yourselves.
Thanks!
