Earlier when i installed windows live on my windows 7 it contains messenger ,mail, photo gallery, writer and tools .This new update  is compatible with Vista and Windows 7 operating systems only. It comes bundled into the Windows Live Essentials suite of apps. if you will install  this software on windows xp it will not contain movie maker.

you have to follow easy steps to install this software it can be downloaded by download.com and then while installing select the option you wnat to install like it have many other option like family saftey and live writer of you have windows live prev installed then this will add only movie maker for you.

according to Cnet about its features”Microsoft’s emphasis on the visual hits home when you get started. In addition to adding photos and video clips through a menu button, you can drag and drop them into the storyboard. Likewise, you can click and drag to move clips around. For extremely simple movie-creation, after you arrange the clips, a click of the Auto Movie button (in the Home tab) ties the clips together with a title, transitions, and pan and zoom effects. If it doesn’t add a song clip for you, it prompts you to select one (again, through the Home tab.) Automating movies and slide shows this ways is a great two-second option for casual or time-stressed users”

1) Spotlight Videos: In this section youtube will highlight videos according to
the demand of people videos that contain information, inspire, and entertain.
According to youtube “We think “Spotlight Videos” is an appropriate moniker
for this section, and soon we are going to take a more thematic approach to
showcasing some of the best videos our community and partners produce.
When you see these videos, they will have top billing on the page – a true spotlight.”

2) Promoted Videos: Youtube takes a good step to change its sponsored video
promoted video section.
This is a nice bussiness move after promoting videos to a target audience but
this section is right now only available in US. According to youtube” Whether
you’re a start-up band trying to break out with a new single, or an advertiser
showing off how to use your cool new product, this program is a great way
for you to promote and drive traffic to your content.”

3) Featured Videos: “Featured Videos will be primarily populated with videos
from YouTube’s thousands of partners, but they might
also include select user videos that are currently popular or that we
have previously showcased in Spotlight Videos. We will
automatically rotate these videos throughout the day to keep them fresh.”

after installing the new version you have to go through two steps

Firstly you can click on the Facebook icon at the top and, once you have signed into Facebook and given TweetDeck authorisation, this will add a new column full of each of your friends most recent status update which updates automatically once a minute. From here you can email the update out to anyone, tweet it out over twitter, view the users online status and if they are online right now click on their name (or the green online status indicator) to open Facebook chat right within TweetDeck.

This release is not being pushed out to everyone right now since it is still being tested. Do feel free to install it directly from http://tweetdeck.com/beta/TweetDeck_0_24_2.air but be aware this is very beta software and is at your own risk. If you are not comfortable with this then please wait for the next major release where this functionality will be rolled up and better tested.

You accomplish the upgrade by signing up for the service, installing special TomTom Home software on your Apple (AAPL Quote – Cramer on AAPL – Stock Picks) Macintosh or Microsoft (MSFT Quote – Cramer on MSFT – Stock Picks) Windows computer and connecting your GPS box to that computer. The service will tell you if you have a new map waiting.

There are two update plans available. You can update the maps inside your device once a year with any worldwide map for $79.95, or sign up for the one-year map Update Service, with the ability to download new maps four times a year for as little as $39.95. The actual final cost depends on the age of the map currently installed in your device and the maps included in the service type you choose

The company warns that once you have purchased its online Map Update Service, it cannot be transferred to another TomTom GPS device.

During the OS 3.0 Q&A session, Apple’s Greg Joswiak said that Bluetooth can be “unlocked” on the device. The 2G device currently sports an inactive Broadcom BCM4325 Bluetooth chip which is capable of single-band 2.4GHz 802.11b/g, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11a/b/g with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and an advanced FM receiver.

The new OS will allow new services to be opened up such as peer-to-peer Bluetooth connectivity, wireless accessory control and wireless streaming 2-channel audio with A2DP. To say the least, this new $9.95 software update should definitely be at the top of any iPod Touch 2G owner’s “must have” list.

Metaplace is a software platform to the development of virtual worlds.The platform is developed by Areae (now officially changed to Metaplace Inc.), the company established by Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies designer Raph Koster. According to the official website, virtual worlds developed on Metaplace can be accessed using any device that connects to the Web.

With Metaplace, almost anyone can build their own custom virtual world. Its tools make it simple to script any object with various actions. And every object and world in Metaplace has its own URL.[credit:metaplace].
Metaplace employs a simple, 2D, Flash-based graphics system that fronts for a fairly sophisticated set of content creation tools.
If the virtual worlds industry has elder statesmen, Raph Koster is definitely one of them. It’s a term he probably dislikes, but the reality is he’s had a direct involvement in some key milestones from text-based worlds (MUDs) through to the present day. After spending some time with his latest project, Metaplace, we took the opportunity to ask Raph some questions about its development as well as discussing some wider challenges and opportunities for virtual worlds. If you ever doubted that Raph Koster was a content creator to his core, pay particular attention to his response to the final question.

Lowell: Let’s start with your baby, Metaplace. How’s it progressing?
Raph: It is going well — we are expanding our closed beta now, and we’ve had a lot of big changes going in and more to come as we accelerate towards opening up. Among recent changes have been the addition of a tool that allows you to select models from the Google 3D Warehouse and bring them into your world with just a few clicks. This has led to a huge explosion in the variety of things found in people’s worlds.
Lowell: Content creation is key to Metaplace – what excites you most about what Metaplace has to offer in that regard?
Raph: I think what is most exciting isn’t so much the power of Metaplace – that’s there for sure, and it’s hugely exciting and fascinating and great things can be made. But I find special attraction to the ease and simplicity, the fact that we’re unlocking very complicated stuff for a lot of people who don’t know how to 3D model, or script, or code. So I think for me, it’s the lowering of barriers that is most exciting.
Lowell: 2009 is being touted as the year of the avatar – what’s your take? Has the avatar gained enough traction to be a true aspect of popular culture?
Raph: I think avatars became commonplace a while back. They have morphed into profile pictures and gravatars and they’re simply everywhere. So I don’t know what “year of the avatar” means except to say that something ubiquitous has become universal.
Lowell: Back in 2007 you were quite emphatic that the games industry was overlooking the power of the web as a platform – do you think there’s any greater level of insight now or is there still a significant blind spot there?
Raph: I think it is evident that the game industry has caught on. EA now distributes on Steam. All the consoles have web browsers now. We have now seen multiple games conceived and developed on or for the web jump over to consoles. Web integration in the form of sharing achievements, exposing APIs, posting to web services, and so on, is becoming far more common. I think the pace of these developments is simply going to increase.
Lowell: Where do you see Metaplace gaining its market share from?
