Multi point

Did you ever try to add more than a mouse to your computer...well...I did and the result was unsatisfying... they all moved the same pointer on the screen...not cool.
Microsoft decided that adding more than a mouse to a computer can prove useful (they gave an example with learning in 3rd world countries) so they added the possibility to have more than a mouse pointer on the desktop...cool
First the API that Microsoft created will be used by students competing in the Imagine Cup competition in order to create better e-learning applications.
Here is the press release from Microsoft.
Happy programming...

Why buy Nintendo`s Wii?

Nintendo Wii? Because it`s fun. Because it`s a lot cheaper and because it has a funny commercial:

As the commercial says..it doesn`t feature any HD graphics display..but it`s fun..and I guess that is the point of the console(and if you don`t have a HD tv HD graphics are worthless).
The best thing about the console is the controller that enables you to get in the game. See for your self:

Why Buy Sony`s Play Station 3?

Reason 1: It`s the newest thing out there. It features great graphics, a blue ray player, 20G or 60G hard drive and wireless controllers.
Reason 2: You are a fan of the Play Station and never even thought about buying another console.
The console comes in two versions: The Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB) or the Sony PlayStation 3 (20GB).
The big problem is that stocks are so limited that most of the consoles are pre-sold or sold on e-bay at huge prices.
The console`s price is not low either and I saw lots of comments about getting the Nintendo`s Wii and Microsoft`s Xbox 360 at the same price and having double the fun. You decide if that`s true or not. For more info try this review. Even more info from sony.
Games available for the console include most of the old PS2 games and this:

Fight Night Round 3

Resistance: Fall Of Man

PlayStation 3 Grand Theft Auto IV

Madden Nfl 07

Need For Speed Carbon

Why buy Microsoft`s XBOX 360?

Well, the first reason would be the fact that the Xbox 360 is on the market for more than an year and there are plenty consoles out there.
The Xbox 360 comes in two versions:a stripped out version Xbox 360 Core System and the Xbox 360 Premium that includes all the accesories from the Core System but also adds a 20G Hard Drive and a wireless controller. Both versions are able to play DVD or HD DVD media(if you have a HD DVD player), and the console is powerfull enough to display everything on a High Definition TV.
Accesories available for the console include an universal remote control, a HD DVD pleyer, wireless headsets and the vision webcam. For more info try this review.
Also Microsoft has a very good network for players around the world called Xbox Live where you can play games, enter tournaments or buy more games.
But the most important thing when buying the console is what you can play on it. So here is a list of Xbox 360 Games:

Gears Of War

Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion

Need for Speed Carbon

Halo 3

F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas

Console Wars

So many persons are looking for a console right now. It seems that there are not enough for everyone. Some persons get disappointed that they don`t get the console they wanted, but most persons don`t even know which console to get..In case you are in doubt, try this:

Why buy Microsoft`s XBOX 360?

Why buy Sony`s Play Station 3?

Why buy Nintendo`s Wii?

10 minute mail

Here is a really usefull tool in case you are signing up for lots of sites and just receive the activation link or expect lots and lots of spam from the site you sust signed-up for.
Why would you use this? Maybe you want to sign up for a site which requires that you provide an e-mail address to send a validation e-mail to. And maybe you don't want to give up your real e-mail address and end up on a bunch of spam lists. This is nice and disposable. And it's free. Enjoy!
Happy registering!
