Hotmail vs. Gmail
I personally have never understood people who have not left hotmail in favor of Gmail.
Hotmail launched this week their “new” e-mail client …… And, now they beginning to reach the same standard like Gmail, they proudly announces “news” that already exists in Gmail for a long time back.
I have always recommended people to move to Gmail but keep their Hotmail account and check it periodically, and to use Messenger, which, although must admit is much better than Google’s Gtalk, even if I dont use any of them.
But the Gmails Email, Calendar and Office are much better, and Gmail’s spam filters, which probably should be seen today as the best spam filter of all email clients.
I should perhaps be added that this is my personal views

Concept CTRUS ball, prepared by the design firm of agents has the potential to completely eliminate the risk of homicide convictions miss the match-winning moments.
The ball is itself built in a completely elastic material which simulates a conventional football. The need, therefore, never inflated.
Furthermore, it is fitted with a GPS chip that keeps track of the ball’s position on the pitch. The signals can get the ball to change color in different modes depending on the game situation – such as red for offside, and green when it crossed the goal line.
The ball is still in concept stage, and it is impossible to say whether – and when – we can expect to see it on a football field.
