Forget iPhone, Think Google Phone

GigaOM » Forget iPhone, Think Google Phone

Ok, so the first US carrier to bring us a Google phone gets my business. :-) Why do I think this wouldn't be on a Windows Mobile 5 OS?

Chat with Santa

Santa on Spaces

Now you can chat with Santa if you have Windows Live Messenger. So is this the one case where some older guy can tell a little kid they have been naughty over IM and it's ok?

Vista Feature - People Near Me

People Near Me is a new feature in Vista whereby other Vista users on the same network are made visible and available for collaboration sessions. Others on the People Near Me list can see and join these sessions if they know the session password (you can also hide sessions from view if you want). The Windows Meeting Space (also known as Windows Shared View) works with the People Near Me feature to allow you to invite others to meetings and give presentations, share handouts and send private notes to participants. For more info on how it works, see http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/8a70907e-9137-4426-a46f-a2d1eeadbd5a1033.mspx?mfr=true

As a side note, I have played with this for about 15 minutes and it seems amazing. Granted, I was testing it with another Vista user on the same LAN, but it was very cool. The features are great and it is very user intuitive and graphically appealing...

Zune incompatible with Vista

Apparantly the new Zune wasn't made compatible with Vista. I'm sure it will be soon, I just think it's funny that they were so shortsighted...

Microsoft's Ribbon

Do you like the new Office 2007 ribbon? If you don't, you probably won't like the fact that Microsoft is licensing the UI for the ribbon to third parties!
