Computer,
Online Stuffs,
Operating System,
Software Microsoft recently released the much awaited Windows 7 beta and if you dare to use this beta version, you can download it here.
We all know that Vista didn’t become as popular as Windows XP but this time, many people keep their hopes high with Windows 7. Why? Well because Windows 7 is designed to be faster, more reliable, and makes it easier to do what we want.
Windows 7 promised to starts up, shuts down and responds faster 
And with its several theme designs, we can now choose our own desktop style. We can even enjoy a slideshow for our desktop background. It also has improved taskbar and full-screen previews and a single Devices and Printers screen that will allow you to connect, manage, and use whatever printers, phones, and other devices you have.
Hmm, I am tempted to try it soon because I want to have a feel of Windows 7 and also to try its handwriting recognition features that is said to have greater accuracy and speed in even when you write math expressions and personalized custom dictionaries.
To try it yourself, download the Windows 7 here.

Astronomy,
Science The 2008 ended with the last perigee Full Moon and now as we begin the 2009, we are lucky to witness another perigee Full Moon tomorrow, January 10, 2009!
If you have time, check this first Full Moon Cruise of the year because according to United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), perigee Full Moons come once or twice a year and when we say perigee Full Moon, it means that the moon will be brightest and biggest in appearance (around 30 % brighter and 14 % bigger than usual moon appearances).
And I think, I only seen perigee Full Moon twice during my childhood years and boy, it was lovely! I can still remember that the moon during that time is so huge, bright and seems to be just above the palm trees in our neighborhood. And hopefully, I can witness it again tomorrow and of course; I will not let that event passed without taking a picture of it.

Email,
Online Stuffs I love the new Gmail’s Tea House Theme! At first, I didn’t know that it is changing as my local time changes so I am wondering why the background of my Gmail is sometimes with moon and stars and why there are times that the setting seems to be in afternoon. And most of all, the position and activities of the characters in the Tea House is also changing!
Then I realized that the Tea House theme has several settings that indeed follow the user’s time zone. So if I opened my Gmail in the morning, the Tea House Theme setting is in day time and the characters in the Tea House are doing some stuff that we normally do every morning. And if I opened my Gmail around 10 in the evening, the setting is night time and all the characters in the Tea House are all sleeping .
Cool, isn’t it? Have you tried it? The Summer Ocean, Beach, Planets and Mountains Themes are likewise time-sensitive. Like me, I bet you will also like to peek what’s sitting in your background when you open your Gmail in a particular time of the day.
