Knowing that Apple has sold more than 6 million iPhone and millions of iPod Touch, it has a ratio of more than 50 applications per appliance, which is pretty huge when compared to other smartphones in Windows Mobile and Debian.

Maaaaah Steve, you won! I craque. It was a moment I thought I go with Mac OS. After a first attempt in September with the offer student, this new Keynote Jobs our friend convinced me in my choice. Here is a quick summary of what has been presented in this Special Event Apple MacBook.

The rumors have multiplied in recent weeks about the arrival of new aluminum Macbook. Most of them were justified elsewhere. It was thus able to discover a new range of truly portable design, cut in aluminum.

Macbook level, we find this new metal hull, improved graphics performance through NVIDIA chipset and a backlit screen LED. Second, there is a new trackpad that I can not wait to test. The latter no longer button (an area where increased by 39%) is made of glass and incorporates the orders 4 fingers. It is really stunning. Regarding the price, the line seems a little more expensive than the previous one, but it has the right to improvements and innovations very significant.

The Macbook Pro also has a new look. They include a better graphics card, the glass trackpad and a MiniDisplay port. Prices remain stable.

The Macbook Air incorporate new SSD drives and a new graphics card. They will not be available until November.

Finally, we also discovered new screens Cinema Displays look very iMac.

This does not therefore Keynote new software but displays a shift in policy of Apple. First, we see that the firm relied on a costly process of manufacturing its laptops, which will allow it to stand out from the competition. In addition, we feel that Apple is looking at any price to take market share in PCs, but leaving a little later some points that might seem important to fans of the apple.

For once, we'll talk about free software. And not just because it is the largest free office suite Open Office. It comes with the version 3 to cut a little more of the sails of Office.

Since Friday, news of the release of the final version of Open Office 3 flourished on the net. Fourth release of the suite, it is currently available in English for Windows and Linux (Mac users wait a little).

The news of this latest version include:

- Support the ODF format and Microsoft Office 2007.
- A start page for quick creation of documents of any kind.
- View multiple pages side by side in Writer.
- New system marks that appear in the margin.
- A tool for solving equations in Calc.
- Améliration graphics Calc.
- Improvement of the crop tool images.
- Improved export to HTML format.
- Etc, etc.

There are still a lot of news, but I still invite you to test this new version you see for yourself.

Finally, and this is important to me, the interface is little changed. Seeing the complete overhaul made with Office 2007, you can find little harm investment in the graphics developers Ooo 3.

Download the version for Windows and Linux.

The newest of the most famous instant messaging software is available in beta version. This version, called Windows Live Messenger in 2009, took a serious blow to young and some nice features on board.

In terms of design, this beta we view it all. New presentation of the contact list. You can choose the size of images before the names of contacts. Found in the configuration settings of the software:

You can also highlight a color in the frames of images that are specific to the status of contacts: green for "Available", red for "Busy", orange for "Away" and white for "Offline". That gadget but can, through this, make a quick scan of contacts available or not. Then we have the possibility to choose a header (see first image) from the predefined image or personal.

In the conversation window, there is a new arrangement of messages. The latter is lighter than in previous versions.

Photos contacts are to the left this time. You can also see that when writing contact several times as a result, his conversations are put end to end without repeating "X said," every time. This feature was already available in previous versions by installing Windows Live Plus!.

In terms of features, we discover, as the use, some small subtleties. I identified two important

- The avatar: it is possible to create an "Image with moods ..". The latter, taken with the webcam, can assign a photo to a smiley. When in a conversation, the smiley is sent to the contact, the picture of the avatar will change and that has been attributed to the smiley.

- Groups that create a group with some of your contacts, then you can send a message to all these contacts, like a chat-room.

For my part, I found that this new version was more attractive and certainly more functional. But like any self-respecting beta, there are still some bugs.
