Yep, Windows Live Messenger is now available on Apple iPhone. Launched a week ago, it took only 5 days to reach 1 million of downloads. As an ardent user of both iPhone and Messenger, I am delighted with this announcement and immediately downloaded and tried it. This is an engineered plan behind Hotmail, Messenger and Windows Live called Messenger Connect (Beta). Like any usual marketing hype, Messenger Connect is being told to us that it allows users to communicate, share, and connect with their Messenger friends on other websites with its flexible, yet prescriptive set of APIs to help create intuitive bla bla bla stuffs. Usual stuffs. In short, it’s just another form of Twitter or Facebook being attached along with internet messenger and email functions. With that being said, your statuses on your Messenger is now acting like Twitter statuses that will be updated on your Live page every time you changed it. It has been that way since before Twitter but nobody seemed to care about it until Twitter. To put it simply, Twitter is more accessible on universal browsers rather than limited availability of Windows Live Messenger application on Windows operating systems. Well, there’s Messenger for Mac but it sucks badly that nobody bothers to use it. Exactly, what makes this Messenger is so awesome?
First page, the Social tab

I started using Flash about 10 years ago. Had little knowledge about it back then since during my school years, Director was my main authoring tool. Well, they’re known as Macromedia products before. Similar to Director, Flash can used on webpages as long as the required plugins are installed on several browsers. Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator were the browsers that I used before and each of them had different plugin installers plus both Director and Flash had different plugins as well (If I am not mistaken, shockwave). I can’t recall much but, yeah, imagine today’s browsers to have different plugin installers for each of them and you need to restart your Windows each time installing them, heh. Of course that the current version of Adobe Flash Player is available for all internet browsers without such fuss.
Flag of Japan. Well, that if Flash conquered the country tho
The reason I bring this Flash matters up is actually because of the way Flash changed our Internet browsing habits. Flash has been used for designing our websites for more than a decade. It has then expanded to other platforms like smartphones. But whenever we wanted to browse a site that uses Flash, you’re required to install the Flash plugin to your system. Especially when suckers like us who wanted to watch YouTube videos on a new computer who will immediately download the installer just for that matter. That’s for computer users like Windows, Mac or Linux. Apple iPhone, Nokia Symbian and Windows Mobile users would have problem viewing webpages that have Flash files. Heck, Sony Playstation Interner browser and Nintendo Wii browser do have the same problem as well. Of course, certain tweaks can be done to make sure that Flash file works on those platforms.

I bought some cool shits yesterday. Apparently it’s because of that my previous keyboard and mouse failing me so much that I nearly rage out like maniacal newfag being trolled by several unsympathetic bitches on forum. The old keyboard was being used for about 2 years. It’s failing hard and shit because my brother loves to smoke in front of my PC and the ashes would deter it more; not only appearance but also some keys were stuck. Well, cheapo Viewsonic keyboard which was like RM 35. The next thing is my old Deathadder mouse by Razer. Cool motherfucking shit that I got after purchasing C&C3 Kane’s Wrath Limited Edition. But sadly, this black and red striped crap failed me after more than a year of usage. It’s supposed to be an expensive bitch that shouldn’t be having flaws like ‘accidental double-click’. Well, I had my time with Razer. I used to have Diamondback previously (which I replaced with DA after getting it). Currently the mouse is being used by my sister. So, what are the new shits I bought to replace them?
Microsoft Sidewinder X6
Well yeah, Sidewinder X6. Detachable numpad that interchangeable to the left or to the right of the keyboard. More importantly, macro keys that programmable to combine several keys together in one single button hit.
