The New Hotmail Challenges Gmail Posted: 18 May 2010 08:32 AM PDT Hotmail, Microsoft's webmail service, has improved a lot in the past two years. Hotmail is now a modern web application that no longer traps users's data and focuses on important things like speed, usability, fighting spam and integrating with other communication services.
The latest Hotmail update, that will be released as part of Windows Live Wave 4, tries to show that Microsoft finally managed to develop a better email service than Gmail and, in many ways, succeeds. Hotmail improved its spam detection algorithms and it's now able to tweak some parameters based on your actions. Hotmail can now flag messages as spam even after you've received them. Another interesting improvement is that Hotmail categorizes messages, so you can quickly find the messages from your contacts, messages from mailing lists or notifications from social networks. Hotmail no longer has limitations for email storage and the main reason is that large attachments can be stored in Windows Live SkyDrive. "With Hotmail, we've combined the simplicity of sending photos through email with the power of Windows Live SkyDrive so that you can send up to 200 photos, each up to 50 MB in size, all in a single email. You can send all your vacation photos at once without worrying about attachment limits," explains Microsoft. This is an important feature that's missing from Gmail and it's surprising that you can't upload photos to Picasa Web Albums or upload documents to Google Docs directly from Gmail. Microsoft also integrated Hotmail with Office Web Apps, so that documents can be previewed and edited online, without having to install an office suite. Now that attachments are stored in a single place, the total attachment limit for a message is 10 GB, while Gmail offers about 7 GB of storage for all your messages. Hotmail added many of the features that used to be available only in Gmail: conversation view, full session SSL, watching YouTube videos inline, but Microsoft managed to make some improvements. The active view feature doesn't work only for YouTube, it's enabled for many other sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), so you can accept invitations or reply to a Twitter message directly from Hotmail. There's also a feature that lets you create a single-use password for signing in on public computers. Google has a lot to do to catch up with the new Hotmail, but that's a good thing. Competition is what makes products better. ![]() ![]() |

Posted: 18 May 2010 03:48 AM PDT HTC Desire em Portugal pelas mãos da Optimus, Kindle App para Android, uma web mais "realtime", e descontos geolocalizados, e transformar um iPhone num cartão VISA são algumas das notícias de hoje.
HTC Desire já chegou a Portugal Um dos Androids mais apetecíveis do mercado já está disponível em Portugal, o HTC Desire. Com um ecrã AMOLED de 3.7" (WVGA) e CPU a 1Ghz, este HTC nada fica a dever ao Nexus One. (Para além dos habituais complementos: WiFi, Bluetooth, camâra de 5Mp, etc. etc.) O HTC Desire está disponível na Optimus por 499 euros, podendo ficar por 299 euros para quem optar pela fidelização com um tarifário Smart 30 (30€ mensais). Kindle para Android ![]() Depois do iPhone, a Kindle App chega ao Android e promete oferecer uma forma mais agradável de comprar os livros online. No iPhone, a compra de um livro obriga a que se saia da App para se ser lançado numa página web - no Android o processo será bem mais imediato e amigável. No entanto... esperam-se grandes mudanças, assim que o Google lançar a sua própria Book Store: o Google Editions. Feeds em tempo real O Google novamente volta a "acelerar" a web, com um serviço que irá permitir a actualização em tempo real de conteúdos de feeds. Foursquare dá descontos ![]() O Foursquare é um destes serviços, que atribui o estatuto de "Mayor" à pessoa que mais check-ins fizer em determinado local. Em parceria com a cadeia de cafés Starbucks, os Mayors de cada loja passam a ter um desconto nos seus produtos. Ora aí está uma boa táctica para fazer com que as pessoas lá voltem o maior número de vezes. :) Transforma o iPhone num VISA wireless Querem usar o vosso telemóvel como forma de pagamento? No Japão isso já é possível há muito, no entanto no ocidente ainda estamos a dar os primeiros passos. Em breve será possível transformarem o vosso telemóvel num cartão VISA wireless, permitindo fazer pagamentos sem "passar cartão". O sistema utiliza um cartão microSD com capacidade wireless - que no caso do iPhone (que não tem slot para cartões) obriga a que se utilize a seguinte "capa" (ao menos é discreta..) Estes sistemas de pagamentos mobile, a par de serviços como o Square que permite receber pagamentos via cartão de crédito "na hora", vão revolucionar a forma como se transaciona dinheiro. É pena a Apple andar "atrasada" em muitos aspectos... se incluisse hardware RFID que permitisse este tipo de coisas "de série"... seria uma nova pedrada no charco neste segmento... |

The Pirate Party Becomes The Pirate Bay’s New Host Posted: 18 May 2010 05:12 AM PDT
That meant that for several hours The Pirate Bay, for the first time in many months, was taken offline. An insider at the site told TorrentFreak that people shouldn’t worry, and that the site would soon return. By start of play this morning that promise had been kept. In most corners of the globe, the world’s most resilient BitTorrent tracker was living up to its name by coming back online with a new and as yet unnamed host. ![]() Now the identity of the site’s ISP has been revealed, and it is a somewhat of a surprising revelation. “Today, on 18 May, the Swedish Pirate Party took over the delivery of bandwidth to The Pirate Bay,” says the Party’s Rick Falkvinge in a statement. “We got tired of Hollywood’s cat and mouse game with the Pirate Bay so we decided to offer the site bandwidth,” he adds. “It is time to take the bull by the horns and stand up for what we believe is a legitimate activity.” The Pirate Party say they will provide bandwidth to the site’s homepage and search engine. “The Pirate Bay is a search engine, and as such it is not responsible for the results,” notes Falkvinge. The Party adds the attempts at censoring The Pirate Bay “is an attempt to silence one of today’s most important opinion makers in matters of civil liberties and rights on the web,” adding that it is “nothing less than political censorship, and something that any democratic-minded person must reject.” With a general election coming up in Sweden, the Pirate Party’s move is also an attempt to reiterate what the Pirate Party stands for. “It feels great to get an opportunity like this to demonstrate that we put our money were our mouth is,” Falkvinge told TorrentFreak. “We’re not your run-of-the-mill politician who commissions reports and spends 8 hours a day avoiding blame. We’re people committing our own resources and time to the values we believe in.” “The only thing we have in common with today’s politicians is that you can vote for us, and I hope this demonstrates how we are prepared to take responsibility for civil liberties and the future of the net in a very direct way,” he added. Meanwhile, a Pirate Bay insider remains vague about the exact location(s) of the Pirate Bay servers, and ensured TorrentFreak that nothing is as it seems. The important thing though, is that the site is fully functional again. Article from: TorrentFreak. |
Posted: 18 May 2010 05:43 AM PDT ![]() Cancelamentos e Renovações Goste-se ou não, o que é certo é que muitas séries foram à faca: Law & Order - Cancelada Law & Order – SVU - Renovada Law & Order – Los Angeles - Nova série Heroes - Cancelada (e já vai tarde) - mas vai ter direito a telefilme para finalizar. Mercy - Cancelada Trauma - Cancelada Chuck - Renovado (Yes! :) FlashForward - Cancelada Romantically Challenged - Cancelada Better Off Ted - Cancelada Happy Town - Cancelada The Deep End - Cancelada V - Renovada Supernatural - Renovado The Cape ![]() A história de um polícia que assume a identidade de um super-herói depois de ter sido deixado como morto por polícias corruptos. Dizem que é estilo um Batman, mas mais "terra a terra". Teremos que esperar para ver... Mas pelo menos, dará para matar saudades de uma série sobre super-heróis sem super poderes. (E aproveito para relembrar que o Super-Homem em Smalville, passados 10 anos, continua ainda sem saber voar... já começa a chatear um bocado... qualquer dia está na reforma e ainda não tirou os pés do chão.) The Event E as séries misteriosas estão também para ficar, com este The Event a fazer-nos imaginar o que se passará em local tão secreto que nem o Presidente sabe o que se passa.
