I recently found out that you can send the song that is
playing in your Zune software to your Facebook status message Via Live
Messenger & the Live Messenger facebook app.
I think this is awesome, & I thought everyone might like it, as it shows how MS
is combining some of the best parts of the web without even knowing it!

How to below!

What You need...

I've never liked Comcast... From throttling Legal users Internet connections To Bandwidth Capping?  Are you trying to drive away you customers?

Lucky for me, I have Verizon DSL & so far Verizon has made no moves towards  capping bandwidth. 250 GBs a month? are you kidding me? If a user like me uses services like Live Mesh, Xbox Live, Skype, Netflix or flicker they run the risk of having there service cut off for a year? Talk about silly. I know that the Internets bandwidth is rising everyday & that something needs to be done about it. But capping is not the way!! That's like trying to fix global warming by only letting people buy so much gas.... The real way to fix it is to start today & do a backbone & up overall. I can understand way cell phone carriers need to limit the web traffic on their networks. As they are still trying to keep up with the users. But an ISP limiting traffic? that is just outrageous & I hope Comcast loses a lot of their customers over it.

I've been using FireFox for years, But today Microsoft may have changed all of that.

I was not expecting much when I install the the beta that became available today. I was very very shocked when I began to surf.

IE 8 is now a sports car! I hate to say it but renders webpages much faster then FF3. Most of the sites I visited loaded up fast and error free.

Some of IE features are to just plain awesome. I love the auto-suggest thing for searches. It saves some time when typing.  The slices & accelerators are just plain fun to use. The only thing thing i've found wrong so far is that it does not like facebook (Conspiracy anyone?)

 

My recomendation, try out IE8 Beta 2 ASAP.
