Free CDs up for grab!

Free CDs up for grabs! Not music CDs, neither is it video CDs. It's the one and only Free operating system - Ubuntu.

You might be wondering what in the world is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.

Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.

We issue a new desktop and server release every six months. That means you'll always have the the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer.

Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get three years support on the desktop, and five years on the server. There is no extra fee for the LTS version, we make our very best work available to everyone on the same free terms. Upgrades to new versions of Ubuntu are and always will be free of charge.

Everything you need on one CD, which provides a complete working environment. Additional software is available online.

The graphical installer enables you to get up and running quickly and easily. A standard installation should take less than 25 minutes.

Once installed your system is immediately ready-to-use. On the desktop you have a full set of productivity, internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games.

That's Ubuntu ;)
And yeah, it's always free-of-charge! That's way cool isn't it?
Now that the team has released a new version - 7.04-, they are giving out free CDs upon request and the shipment is free-of-charge.
Please take note that this news is a week old now. Please act fast if you want it. =)

Creative Inc. Updates

Hehe. I m a Creative Fanboy actually. Anything to do with Creative is just my liking...except that it's sound bass needs more improvements..

Anyway, Creative Technology launched a collection of Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity enabled products for the home at the "X-Fi Your Home" event in the showflat of the prestigious Condominium. It features X-Fi Crystalizer that restores the detail and vibrance to compressed music and movies and the X-Fi CMSS-3D that expands stereo MP3s and digital movies into surround sound over multichannel speakers, stereo speakers or even headphones.

Sound cool right? They've been doing all these Xi-fi marketing for many months, but yet...the problem is still there. The bass boost isn't good enough for it's customers. Comparing Cowon's D2 with creative products... you will be tremendously shock by the fact that Cowon's sound quality (Overall) outplays Creative Tech. Time to speed up Creative!

Servers of Windows Live

Has anyone notice that for the past few months, Windows Live Messenger servers have been down very often? Tabs gone missing, contact list not loaded properly, speed getting worst, Display Names, Personal Messages and Display pictures won't load properly on another PC, got disconnected while entering to Windows Live Spaces website and many more...

I wonder what the team has been doing lately, not only that their Service status page is not updated, apparently they haven't been listening to the users of Windows Live or have they? I really hope that they will stop upgrading their services and just get on with the updating for all their Windows Live services already. Especially both Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Spaces.
Haven't you notice that whenever you connect to Windows Live Spaces, your internet gets disconnected? Or perhaps is just my local internet service provider is doing a bad job in providing a good network? Or perhaps there's more reasons into the mysterious sudden disconnection upon connected to Windows Live Spaces?

Oh well, let's hope that all the teams in Windows Live will do a good job when they remove the BETA tag from all their services.

Some news updates. (:

Hi, let me self introduce myself to you all. I'm Jason, (another new administrator for this blog =D), you can can me Jason or by my Chinese initials, X². You will see my initials more often after each post I've made. I'm a student from a Polytechnic, who loves programming, web/video/graphic designing, etc. I've also created my personal website, do check it out (: A contact form will be made during my first week of holiday. I will be posting on mostly about Technology. Not all though...
Enough of self introduction.. Let's get to serious business.

It's a pretty old news, but I doubt everyone have read it or heard of it.

I assume that everyone has heard of Buzz Lightyears and his famous quote, yeah? This is something that sounds perhaps exactly alike, or perhaps not. Whatever it's... ...

Yahoo is going infinity and beyond. Enjoy infinite mail storage after they update everything. The current space is 1Gb, similar to the current Hotmail. But after May 2007, Yahoo will be infinite times better than the upcoming Windows Live Hotmail that gives free users 2Gb of space, and paid users 4Gb of space. Isn't this wonderful? I can't wait for it.
Here's the news.
Enjoy (:

Windows Live Messenger is going for an upgrade after its current version 8.1. No news of whether they are going to change a new UI to suit all Windows Live services better or whether there'll be a version specially made for Windows Vista. Some users are awaiting for the team to make an edition for Windows Vista just like what Yahoo! has done - created a messenger specially made for Windows Vista. Though it's not out publicly, there's screenshots and video of the messenger itself.
During valentine's day and even the 12th of April post, the Windows Live Messenger Team said that they are trying to add these features in and improve on them though it's no guarantee that you will see all features they said. Thanks to users who requested those features to be improved and be added into Windows Live Messenger.

Features to be improved:

More Messenger Customization (Skins, emoticons, winks, games)

More feature in Mac Messenger (Go here for more information about Mac Messenger)

Better Auto-Update

Better text customization in IM (More font colors, better bold/italic support)

Better Vista Integration

New features that you want:

• Custom Animated Display Pictures
• Ability to show different status to different people or groups
• Make it easy to search for other messenger users
• Multiway Video Calling
• Display picture history
• Tabbed Windows
• Save IM conversations into Hotmail
• Spell Check
• Phone calls, ability to buy a phone number and have it go to Messenger.
• Have all Messenger clients work together.

Have fun (:

Cheers!

Shootings in Virginia Tech University

On Monday a gunman went on a shooting spree at Virginia Tech University, killing 32 people and injuring over 20 more before ending his own life. It is not known at this time why he decided to start the senseless deadly rampage in the first place. I'm sure details will be coming out over the next few days and weeks. Obviously students, faculty, and their families are horrified and in utter shock. It has been said that he is suffering from mental illnesses.

Many students told the press that he was a loner in the university. I think , to put things simply, it was difficult for him to blend into the American Society.. which explains his loneliness. The way he expressed his anger on others was terrible AND ABSOLUTELY WRONG. It IS just Unacceptable by the world.

It's full of insanity.
