ROFL, Apple's livestream of their event later today only accessible for Macs, iPhones and iPads... Windows and Linux excluded. Pathetic!

How Software Companies Die
The hive has been ruined. The best coders leave. And the marketers, comfortable now because they're surrounded by power neckties and they have things under control, are baffled that each new iteration of their software loses market share as the code bloats and the bugs proliferate. Got to get some better packaging. Yeah, that's it.

Re: Windows Live Messenger 2010 Beta review
"I don't think they will make this mandatory for at least quite some time. This new version doesn't support Windows XP, so they will need to make it possible for Windows XP users to continue using Live Messenger 2009. I think even if you use Vista or 7 you will be able to take advantage of that."

Windows Live Messenger 2010 Beta review

It has been a week since Windows Live Messenger 2010 Beta (wave 4, 15.3.2804.0607) released to the public as a preview of what is expected to be Windows Live Messenger 2011 once it comes out of beta. You can download the new Messenger as part of the Windows Live Essentials beta. I have been using it heavily, here are my thoughts.

Happy new blog… uhm… year!

First of all, happy 2009 to all of you! No matter how good or bad 2008 was for you, I hope 2009 will be a lot better .

I usually don't do new year's resolutions, why would you wait until new year if you already know you want to do achieve something? Get started on it already! Instead let's have some old year's resolutions... get things done before the year is over. I know, it comes down to the same thing, secretly this is my new year's resolution from last year but I didn't do it until now: I'm starting a blog!

Menthix.net is already several years old, but I never had any real content on it. A few months ago I installed WordPress just for fun, now it's time to actually start posting. I don't know if I will post a lot, but you will see me write some articles from time to time. For now it is time to join the party and try to still have all fingers tomorrow.
