I decided to write a post with some screenshots as it changed quite a bit.. and I have to say it’s becoming sexier at every update they make. And it’s becoming VERY social, as you can connect it with Failbook and MySpace in a few clicks (you get prompted to do so).

The Sign In screen:

Get Social:

Welcome screen:

The MySpace login screen (haven’t tried Failbooks):

The new WLM full view, featuring news from your myspace or failbook contacts, photos, statuses etc:

And the compact version (very similar to the old one except I find it cleaner):

The conversation windows (note they are tabbed by default):

New emoticons (the old one were nicer IMO, maybe I’m just used to them):

New sharing in the conversation:

And that’s about it, I think it’s what’s changed. I didn’t see the OneCare options for antivirus checking of received files so maybe that’s been removed (I hope so).

I also can’t seem to find where to change my nick (as you can see it’s nasal Kovac which was my nick + my surname and I’m really not sure where to change this, no option in the options but a button that connects me to the profiles.live.com page… whooot).

So that’s about it, download it and try it out. There’s also the apatch patch ready for it, which I’m trying to install now.

Comments?

I must admit it really looks good… and this kinect thing.. even better!

New Xbox 360 gets official at $299, shipping today, looks angular and ominous (video hands-on!)

At first we were doubtful that a edgy box appearing in a little Flash ad from Italy last night could be legit, but Microsoft just got real with the new Xbox 360. (That’s all it’s officially called — just “the new Xbox 360.”) It’ll launch today priced for $299, while the old Elite will stick around for $249 and the Arcade will drop to $149. The new box is crazy sexy in glossy black with touch-sensitive buttons, and Microsoft says it’s “whisper quiet,” with one large fan instead of two — the new 45nm chipset undoubtedly generates less heat to begin with. On the features front, it’s got integrated 2.4GHz 802.11n WiFi, five USB ports, and 250GB of storage on a removable hard drive, although it’s not a standard drive or same drive as the old console, and older Memory Units won’t work, either. Upgraders can use a USB-to-Xbox hard drive connector cable to migrate to the new box, however. There’s also a “custom Kinect port” on the back that looks like an HTC-style ExtUSB port, and it also seems like the power supply has moved inside the case, which is a welcome change. New Xbox 360 units are shipping to retailers now, with availability expected later this week, and MS conference attendees are actually getting theirs shipped today.

If you’re in Europe, don’t fret, as yours is coming soon. Microsoft’s official Xbox Twitter account has confirmed the console hits there on July 16.

Update: We just got the official fact sheet, check it after the break. Oh, and we’re calling it the “Stealthbox” to keep all the models straight. It just feels right, you know?

Update 2: According to a Microsoft representative, the Xbox 360 Original will still be sold while there’s stock, but they’re not making any more of them. Once they’re gone, they’re gone — and we’d assume a new $199 variant of the new design will eventually be released to fill the void.

Have spare time? Want to lose some of it?

Check out this link and learn what is the best use for browser popups.. a nice game of Pong!

Play pong with your browser and remember to turn popups on

So i’ll just put some links inhere and write a bit, but not much, cause I don’t know what to write.

Did you see Microsoft’s new IE8 campaign? They are giving away $10,000 to the one that finds a hidden webpage that can be seen only using their newest browser.

TenGrandIsBuriedHere.com

Than, a Mozilla developer (IE’s rival, Firefox), shows Microsoft where that ten grand is buried.

TenGrandIsBuriedThere.com (zoom in)

This is just hilarious What’s wrong with people? If you check that Microsoft’s page with a browser that is not IE, their site will greet you saying your browser sucks and that you should download their newest one.

I think it’s their fault people are using other browsers. That happened just because they didn’t respect the web standards and then people didn’t care much (they always did but not everyone) optimizing the site for IE. Now they are saying other browsers suck, when their browser sucked more then all of the other browsers will suck together in a hundred years!

And for the finish, take a look at this painting, it’s great.

Have swing!

Some days ago (on Friday, if I remember well) I decided to try using Twitter as a money making machine, since I’ve been reading around that it has become a powerful marketing tool.

I purchased a copy of Twitter Traffic Machine since they have a 60 day money back guarantee, a cool YouTube video that really inspired me, didn’t seem too hard to implement and didn’t take too much time.

When I started using it I had around 200 followers. Today I have more than 2000, and kinda lot of them are targeted for what I wanted. I also made my first sale ever yesterday. So I basically got half of the money I spent back in just 2 days! I feel so great, really!

Since I rarely believe the screenshots people post on their sales pages, I’m giving you the proof that my followers indeed grew a lot: http://twittercounter.com/nasalchy. The stats are a bit slow to update so bare with them. Oh and yeah, for testing reasons I created another account and because I’m sooooo evil, I gave her a female nickname and photo and check her out, she got more then 2200 followers in 4 days

So once again I’m telling you: if you have $30 and want to try earning some money online, buy Twitter Traffic Machine and TRY implementing it! Creating an account on Twitter takes 30 seconds and doing what they explain will take you another 30 minutes of work!

And if it doesn’t work, request your money back.

Edit (05. june 2009): the second sale came in today.. I think it’s only because I set this up last week and only today checked and pimped up things. So this really works. iHappy!

I made a wallpaper using a tutorial and it came out quite nice, so if you want to use it on your 15,4″ laptop, feel free to download it.

Created following this tutorial on tutorial9.net.

Have a nice day!

Another year has come to an end for me, today I’m one year older than last year.

My project to take a picture every day failed the 2. week I think, I suck at projects

I added the “Buy me a beer” button today, so if you feel like giving me a present for my birthday, feel free to donate some cash so I can make a party

This blog is also old, I guess, 4 years? Thanks for reading all the bullshit that I write!

Have a great day!

Another great video from Coldplay. And the song is also great.. if you missed it, it’s from the new EP Prospekt’s March that came out at the end of November 2008.
