Windows 7 (classified) Photos

Press play to view the photos of Windows 7 milestone 1. Don’t say there fakes because remember Windows 7 is not a video game console. It’s a operating system.

Facebook Hacked!

       While watching Global National today I discovered that Facebook was hacked. Apparently a guy (whose name was not mentioned) hacked Paris Hiltons Facebook account due to a small bug in the servers. The person was able to view Hilton’s private Facebook photos. Facebook promptly fixed the problem though the person claims that he can still view Hilton’s photos. Facebook warned that if you have sensitive information just keep it off the internet. Even if it in a private folder. Hilton has not said anything about this most likely because, the guy said that he would not give the photos to anyone. But than again you should not trust strangers and someone can hack his computer if they wanted to. We just have to wait.

iPhone crashes, on live tv

Just on American Idol, Apples iPhone crashed on live tv. The host was advertising for at&t and Apple when this happend. He asked a guy if he could take his iPhone and than started to blab on how you can vote for your favorite singer. As he was demonstrating, the phone crashed. No one was lafing, except me. The host gave back the iPhone and the owner was devestated. I felt sorry for the guy. He got a $400 phone just to have it crash on live internatinal tv. I hope Steve Jobs saw.

Windows Live Mail Review

 Today I finally decided to give Windows Live Mail a try. Windows Live Mail is basically a copy of Microsoft Outlook. Like all Windows Live programs this one has the Vista look and feel for Windows Xp users. There’s a very minor problem with Windows Live Mail scrolling bar, it tends to switch from the Vista scrolling bar to the Xp scrolling bar.  

If you are used to using Windows Live Hotmail you will view images with no problem. This is not the case it Windows Live Mail. Flash images can’t be viewed unless you change one of the settings, the average user would just delete Windows Live Mail because of this. One of the greatest features of Windows Live Mail is that you can view two e-mail accounts at the same time. This comes really handy if you have a work and personal e-mail. This great feature is not limited to passport users, you can also view Gmail and Yahoo! accounts. Windows Live Mail also manages your feeds. That is another useful feature that people wanted in Windows Live Hotmail. In Windows Live Mail you can also launch Windows Live Messenger and view newsgroups but those features are not to important. To download Windows Live Mail and to try it for your self click here. I would reccomend Windows Live Mail. It does take some getting used to though.

Goodbye Netscape

Yesterday on March 1 2008 was a sad day for the people who created Netscape Navigator. AOL announced that they would stop supporting and making new versions of Netscape Navigator. Thanks to web browsers like Microsoft’s Internet explorer, Firefox and Apple’s Safari, who combined own over 99% of the market share. AOL ceo says “We have tried and tried to prevent this from happening but we could not stop this sad fait”. Netscape was an icon in technology. If it was not for Netscape navigator we would be living very different lives. Netscape was the first popular internet browser, which at one time had over 90% of the market share. Today Netscape has only 0.5% percent of the market share. Netscape would probably be around if Microsoft did not abuse there their power illegally. Though Netscape took Microsoft to court and won that did not stop Microsoft from destroying Netscape. Netscape recommends switching to Firefox for Netscape users For the official announcement go here
