Microsoft Messenger

It came out on Tuesday, but I got it on Wednesday, probably because of the time difference. The updated version has some new features, but still lacking some comparing to the Windows version. The feature I like most is the display picture. I always liked to change pictures when I used the messenger for Windows. The new version has got a new look, it looks better than before generally, but I still hate the big round "Send" button in conversation windows. One of the lacking features is contact card. I am still not notified when my contacts updates their MSN Spaces. Some other lacking features are displaying contact's picture in contact list, and the private message that is beside the name. One last good thing of the new version is the ad in the contact list is removed. :)

The Mighty Mouse

It came out some days ago. Apple says it has four buttons, but what I like most is the scrolling ball. I have got used to the one-bottoned mouse, and I always forget that I can press the right button when I use PC. Also I read that it is quite big. So I don't think I will want the mouse. But it is selling very well. It got the 13th place in Amazon.com's eletronics list.
