XP surpasses vista

Wow, people prefer xp over vista, what a shame for microsoft. Dell and HP computers are coming with xp as a preinstalled OS.

Microsoft should learn from their mistakes that launching a OS with no more features but just an eyecandy. Moreover, vista won’t even support the drivers for the various hardwares like cell phones, printers etc.

160by2.com new features

With the start of the IPL, people want cricket updates on their cell phone, you can subscribe for free using this site and you get the updates via sms .

One more feature is that suppose you want to send the sms to your friend wishing him birthday or anniversary, you can schedule it and the sms is sent to your friend’s mobile at the specified date and time. It can also be used to send you reminder and all this is for free.

Facebook with the online chat feature

Facebook has come out with the new thing….guess what…..yes its online chat….this is what orkut lacks. It shows you whether your friends are online and let you to chat with them. This feature is still to come in orkut which presently takes the help of gtalk which is very annoying.

Orkut Applications

Orkut has introduced “applications” so that you wont get bored on orkut. I tried some of the applications and they are useless if you compare them with the applications on the facebook. I started with “top friends” application….. and when it loaded I was really disappointed as the pictures of my top friends are so blurred. Orkut will take some time to improve upon this and right now it is offering just 13 applications.

Gtalk invisible option

Now you can go invisible on google chat….this feature can be accessed using the gmail and not via gtalk. Just go to the gmail chat and drop down menu gives the “go invisible” option.
