    Second question: Ask is not a meta-search engine. Meta search just means it gets its search results from more than one search engine. The other three each combine results from Google, Bing etc.

    The fourth question is probably: missing a plugin or possibly accessory if they mean program. A plugin lets you use Java or Adobe Flash. If they are calling a program an accessory then for instance if you didn't have Windows Media Player and clicked on an mp3 you would get an error because you need a program to open it.

    Last question Bing homepage has a picture with embedded links so that is probably it. Another poorly written question because Bing is not technically a browser.

    Gigabytes and Megabits are both units of memory. However, gigabytes are used to describe RAM and hard drive memory, while megabits per second are usually used for internet bandwidth (speed). These two are in no relation whatsoever! One does not affect the other! Which means it is safe (and normal) to have less megabits per second than gigabytes. I haven't heard of .mib files, but they wouldn't have a negative effect on your computer. You just won't be able to run them. I recommend .mp3 files.
