A couple of days back, Apple announced its Magic Mouse. Later on, it was discovered in the  Magic Mouse user guide, that the upcoming Mac OS 10.6.2 will have built-in features for the Magic Mouse. This news got my attention and I just wondered will Apple be releasing Mac 10.6.2 on 22nd October in an attempt to take people’s attention away from Windows 7 launch event? If there were any doubts regarding the arrival date for Mac 10.6.2, all of them can be put aside as 9to5Mac reports that the OS update appears bug free (as per the test results) and looks all set to arrive today.  Read more...

Microsoft has begun the advertisement for Windows 7 with this commercial titled ‘Good News‘ (and  implying Vista was bad news?) which features the 5 year old Kylie who previously appeared in a Windows Live ad. She’s shown reading various positive reviews for Windows 7 and also creates a slideshow using Windows Live Movie Maker, which has snippets from those reviews. The ad ends with the launch date of Windows 7 hence Microsoft is trying to kick start the hype engine with this ad by saying ‘More happy is coming’ and the Final Countdown music. Oh, and I love the way how she pronounces ‘responsive’!  Read more...

You can count on Apple to not mention this feature in the list. Apparently, iTunes 9 has support for jumplists in Windows 7. It shows two tasks which take you to the iTunes Store or to the iTunes Store search. Like Safari 4 jumplists, it’s a welcome addition by Apple to use this feature in their software.  Read more...
