Windows Live Essentials consist a list of useful software by Microsoft like the Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Live Movie Maker, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Sync and more. It’s all under the Windows Live brand name. Also include is a new version of Windows Live Messenger.
I was curious so I downloaded the whole BETA version of Windows Live Essentials to check out what’s new and the big changes is the new Windows Live Messenger, an IM software that I always use. The contact list has changed, now added a sidebar showing all the social and status update. It can have Facebook and Myspace update there but I somehow couldn’t get it work. I can’t change my display name like before, it couldn’t fancy, it’s very standard with my first name and last name. I don’t like it. I like fancy display name. Add on and hacks of course are not working with the new Live Messenger BETA.
There’s tabbed conversation window but I prefer a separate one. Used it for like a few minutes, couldn’t get myself comfortable with the new one and I uninstalled it and install back the old Live Messenger. I believe this is not a final one, they will change, for sure. As for other essentials software, I didn’t try it though because I never use them.
Download the Windows Live Essentials here. Then share your experience. =D
Ever jealous of some great toy camera, tilt shift, lomography camera applications on the iPhone? Yes, I do and very do. I hate why Android doesn’t have such cool camera app. Though, no dissapointment, there’s still one free camera application for Android which give you lomography effect and more like polaroid framing, fisheye and more!
Best part of all, it’s free and many choices of effect. Easy to use too. Just install it and pick your effect, then point and shoot.
I only use the Toy Camera effect but one thing that I don’t like is that, the effect still not very close to a real lomography and somehow I feel the app on iPhone is better than this. Anyway, better than nothing, download this and install on your Android now, it’s a must have!

I am not a gaming person, but due to boredness, I went to look around the Game section in the Android Market app store and downloaded a few games. One of which is Toss It.
Your aim is to toss the paper or other junk into the dustbin. Very simple. It requires touch and a little bit of angle thinking because there’s fan which disturbs your tossing. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t use the accelerometer built in your phone. Yet, it’s still a good time-waster while you’re on the cab, bus or train.

Feeling bored looking at the original Wordpress theme of yours? Don’t get the ohm of writing when looking at your theme? Change it to something better!
I Googled online and found this Fluency dashboard theme that look the best for me, and still in search of something better. If you found, do share with me. Currently, I am liking my dashboard theme, very easy to install, download the plugin, upload it and activate it. Simple and fast.
Chinese really makes good pirated stuff, pirated phone, pirated DVD, fake Blu-Rays. They love making copyright infringement stuff but somehow, everyone like it. At first, it was PPS online streaming player, which streams whatever movie and TV series.
Now I found another one called 酷我音乐盒 Ku Wo Music Box. It streams Chinese music and music of other languages too. You can either stream it or download it into your computer and listen it later. Rocks man.
You can find almost any music there. I use it to stream Chinese music mostly.
And it has live lyric synced with the music so you can singalong.
Another feature is streaming music video of a song, but then not all song has music video streaming, some only. It still very cool though. I like this program.
So sorry for English-educated or people who doesn’t read Chinese, same like PPS, the whole software is in Chinese. More Chinese software to be introduced soon. If looking from the legal side, this software is against the copyright law, but no one cares, yet. Use it wisely, for personal use and not for commercial. =)
