Back in December, I wrote about how Microsoft has made rather discreet upgrades to their free e-mail service, Hotmail. It was in preparation for its supposed transition into the new Windows Live Mail brand.
Three days ago, Microsoft have made a turn-around and decided not to push through with the upgrade of Hotmail into Windows [...]

Mac users and wannabes all over the world were treated to a splendid selection of excellent, brilliant, down-right hilarious and catchy commercials that only the advertising geniuses at Apple could come up with. These short films sparked and galvanized a cult following that has made Macs and Apple true icons of our digital age.

Maybe the rumors were true, and that Microsoft secretly released a closed beta of a Filipino version of its Windows operating system aptly called, “Microsoft Bintana.” Maybe my best friend of a friend of his friend who had a friend who then knew a friend who had a brother who was among the select-few to test the much controversial version of Windows solely for the Philippines.
