  1. Comment - MSN Quietly Updates Messenger to 7.5

    (Aug 25, 2005 - 9:23 AM)

    Sure Google Talk doesnt do anything better than others but its forcing competitors to do better. For example take Gmail, it came out with a slick interface and 2gb of storage space which in turned forced other companies such as Yahoo and Hotmail to do the same thing in order for them to keep there customers. Just think about being stuck with 10mb of free space in Hotmail as opposed to the 250mb they offer now, if it wasnt for google that my have never happened, infact hotmail is developing a new interface and is going to up storage space again all again thanks to google. Google also made satellite images for maps which pushed other companies like microsoft to do the same. So by google accelarating production and apps its forcing others to do the same overall helping us as customers. If you look at it also ICQ was the best IM client out there and the most widely used back in the days it had everything MSN currenlty offers from file transfers to confrence chatting however it did not have the ability to retrieve contacts from any computer thats where MSN picked up and made itself popular. Likewise Google Talk I believe will do the same in the near future.

    The only reason msn released 7.5 is because GoogleTalk was released today! This version is very unstable and still has many bugs which were reported in the Beta stages but was not fix. They just released it in a hurry because of Google Talk. Nonetheless MSN still is popular and the new features added in 7.5 like dynamic backgrounds are useless KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID....and thats what google has done!

    This is really funny....why you may ask? because Yahoo and Rogers Cable(toronto,Canada) are currently working together to provide cable internet with yahoo services to its customers but now its teaming up with verizon to provide dsl and I quote, "compete against cable and dial-up providers."

    Its kind of sad to see that negotiations have been put off, but just like the vcr one will prevail and be on top while the other will sink and eventually be unused. As of now however both sides got support from major companies and so far it looks as if its a tie. WE'll just have to wait and see i guess.

  5. Comment - Google Preparing to Launch IM Service

    Google will one day be in head to head competition with microsoft. If you look at it at the rate there advancing and products they are innovating that are already in rivalry with microsoft products you can see that soon Google will create an Operating System which is probably more secure than windows and have more features and capability. That goes to show that perhaps bill gates is getting too old and its time for young ones to continue the trend such as the folks at Google!
