I just did a search in Del.icio.us and I found that they have integrated its own built-in music player into the Search function. This search function previously only available to registered users only, now it is opened to the public. This new feature of Del.icio.us was confirmed in their blog few days ago.

Don’t ask me why is there a link about “Gearge”. LoL …

Del.icio.us’s built-in music player is similar to Yahoo! Podcasts, which allows you to search for any podcast on the Internet and listen to it via the built-in music player straight away from the search results. The small music player from Del.icio.us will play the mp3 file right from the search result too.

I just got an invitation from Microsoft last Friday to test the forthcoming Hotmail service, Kahuna. I am definitely not the first to do a review for Kahuna but I hope this entry shares the experience of using it from a diffrent point of view. Well, there are quite a number of good reviews written, such as this article from PC World, this article from PCMag or even this comprehensive list of features from MSN.

Kahuna is the next version of Hotmail and it will have 2GB capacity. It utilizes the latest web technologies such as AJAX, which GMail is also using. Since Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express is still having the largest user base for Windows-based email client applicaiton, Kahuna tries to bring the same user experience into the web application.

To give us the user experience of Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, we will see the user interface of Kahuna is very similar to them with three columns design:-

Google is going to launch its new service (yes, another new one) called, Google Base. This service is yet available, but very soon you will see it online because there were some screen shots have been taken !! Well, there are rumours suggesting this service will be introduced in Google Zeitgeist’05 Partner Forum, which will be held at Google HQ in California today.

Google Base – A Place To Hold Your Info For Free

Hey guys, my apologies for not conveying interesting news to you all for more than 24 hours. I was quite busy in the last few day, finally it’s over now.

Well, here is a an interesting one for local readers. We, Malaysian, can now build our own laptop with components that we select based on particular specifications we need, not to mention based on our budget too. I know we can customize any laptop model from major laptop manufacturer or retailer, but the options available are often not comprehensive enough to suit all kinds of laptop users. So, here comes the idea of launching the Build-to-Order Notebook Campaign by Genuine C&C (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

This campaign is a collaboration effort with some IT firms, namely:-

• Intel Electronics (Malaysia) – main sponsor
• Microsoft (Malaysia) – supreme partner
• A-DATA Technology – co-partner
• Seagate Singapore International Headquarters – co-partner

Not sure have your ever heard of one of the most famous bloggers in China, Furong Jie Jie? Well, she is damn “hot” in China, I tell you. :D

Anyway, I heard of her name quite some time ago when KennySia wrote a reply to Furong Jie Jie. Then yesterday, I get to see her casting in her first film. However, I seriously have no idea what the story is trying to tell. Anyone, please tell me what do you think about the clip. :)

Quite a number of acquisitions and merger are going on in the IT industry lately, here come another one, though it’s still in the proposal stage.
