November 22nd, 2008

I’ve been using WLM since it was MSN messenger back in the day. I’ve been using Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta for a few weeks now and it’s quite awesome. It has photo sharing, a better interface and a few other new features. The live team is working hard at finalizing messenger and it has been said that in the final version there will be group video calls and other group features.

Officials in California have unveiled ambitious plans to turn the San Francisco Bay area – home to 7.6 million people – into one of the world’s leading centres for electric vehicles.

If it succeeds, the strategy will see billions of dollars poured into a power infrastructure that will turn the region away from fossil fuels and persuade millions of people to switch to green transport technology.

The plan, which will see the bay area become the first region of California to switch its transport systems entirely away from traditional fuels, is being supported by local government as well as the state’s governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As you may have noticed, there is a new box above the categories and links to the right. What does this box do, I hear you ask..

This box provided by Microsoft as part of its messenger service allows you to see when I’m online with MSN messenger, along with my current nickname and online status. But not only this, but if you click on it, a popup will show up that allows you to chat to me!! You don’t even have to login to MSN yourself!

Go on! Give it a try!

Gmail Themes!

November 21st, 2008

I dont know if any of you have a gmail account (Google Mail) but if you have you may have noticed a new tab appear in the settings called “Themes”.

Gmail now gives you the choice of around 30 different themes to change the look of your Gmail account.

As you can see in the picture I chose the Planets theme but there are some really nice themes to choose from like Shiny, Mountain and even Ninja, which tempted me but I’m in a darker mood today.. hehe

Gmail is ever added and improving its email service which now has Instant Messaging, Video and Audio chat, Themes, Huge File sending, tons of storage for your emails and files. I’d say Gmail is by far the best email service, with Windows Live Mail coming in close second.
