If you are a current MSN Messenger user then you will love Messenger Plus. It adds a ton of functionality to MSN Messenger, and many features that you would have never thought you needed. Unfortunately, the most recent release is still not compatible with Windows Live Messenger but a compatible version should be released in May.

The only major changes this time is in the sponsor agreement. This software was once very tricky at getting people to install ‘additional software’ with the installation. However, because of rising complaints they have made it easier for users to opt-out of installing the sponsor’s software. They have always given the choice to install the sponsor’s software or not to install it, but when Messenger Plus was originally released they made it much more tricky.

Since you are able to install the software without adware or spyware then I highly recommend that you use this software. Once you grow accustomed to it then you won’t know how you survived without it (a little exaggeration ).

It’s true, it’s true. HTC is today extending some tender loving care to owners of the Desire HD and Incredible S handsets in the form of an over-the-air update delivering Android 2.3. We’ve seen the notice of the new firmware update on the company’s European support site, though our UK-based Incredible S has yet to be pinged with a refreshing dose of Gingerbread. Shouldn’t be long now, though! That just leaves the Desire Z and original Desire, both of which should be joining the party by the end of June.

I don’t know how, but I missed the release of Full Circle Magazine issue #2 which was available a month ago. So I thought today I would write a combined post that covers issue #2 as well as #3 which was just released.

Full Circle Magazine is a user-created magazine designed for Ubuntu Linux users. It normally includes how-to’s, guides, and a look at what you can expect from Ubuntu (and some of its siblings like Kubuntu). So let’s see what the two newest issues bring to the table:

–Full Circle Issue #2 (JPEG / PDF)–

One of the cool things that I learned from this issues is that there is an Ubuntu Home Server in the works which aims to compete with Windows Home Server.

I’ve converted this issue into a JPEG image for those of you who don’t want to download the PDF. Here’s a quick overview of what issue #2 has in it:

• Flavour of the Month – Kubuntu
• How-To
• Ubuntu on the Intel Mac Mini
• Virtual Private Networking
• Learning Scribus Part 2
• Ubuntu for your Grandma!
• Review – System 76 Darter
• Top 5 – Widgets
• MyDesktop, MyPC and more!

–Full Circle Issue #3 (JPEG / PDF)–

This issue previews a few of the new Compiz Fusion effects (this is the result of Beryl and Compiz merging together). There wasn’t as much news on this as I would have liked to see, so I thought I would throw in this video to demonstrate what Compiz Fusion can do:

I’ve converted this issue as well into a JPEG image for those of you who don’t want to download the PDF. Here’s a quick overview of what issue #3 has in it:

• Xubuntu install step-by-step – Alternative Disc
• How-To
• Get a Stunning Ubuntu Desktop
• Learning Scribus part 3
• Ubuntu in Photography
• Review of Ubuntu on a Macbook
• Preview of several new Compiz Fusion effects
• Letters, Q&A, MyDesktop, MyPC, Top5 and more!

Overall it looks like the magazine is doing really well, and the last few releases have met their deadlines perfectly. I can’t wait to see what issue #4 has in store for us on August 31st!

The BB OS 6.1 update that grew too big for its name has just been made official by RIM as BlackBerry 7. Its ambassador into the wide world of smartphones will be the newly minted BlackBerry Bold Touch, which is expected to arrive “this summer.” What can you look forward to? The user experience is promised to be both easier and faster, voice-activated searches are available for content both on your phone and the web, and the browser has been “significantly enhanced” with new features like a JIT (just-in-time) JavaScript compiler and HTML5 Video support. BlackBerry Balance is also part of the new OS, allowing you to compartmentalize your personal and professional lives into neat and separate piles of content. Full PR can be found after the break.

Update: RIM has just noted that there will be “no legacy support” with BB 7, meaning that older devices, even those running version 6 of the OS, won’t be getting any (official) updates to the latest stuff. This has been justified by how tightly integrated the software build is with the underlying graphics hardware in the touch-capable Bold handsets. Basically, the old phones won’t be able to run the new OS. Oh, and in case you were wondering, there’s no trace of QNX in BB 7.

Apple has finally decided to inform the public about the official release date of the acclaimed Leopard operating system, and it’s in just 10 days (on October 26th). Lines will surely form outside of the Apple stores, but I would imagine that there will be more than enough copies available.

What’s new in Leopard? Apple has detailed over 300 new features that will be shipping in the latest version of their operating system. I went through the entire list and grabbed the things that I thought were the most notable:

• Boot Camp – run Windows on your Mac, and copy files between the two operating systems
• Desktop – semitransparent menu bar, reflective Dock, organize files into “stacks,” and more
• Finder – use the sidebar to group items into categories, flip through your files with Cover Flow, icons contain previews of files, and more
• iChat – use Photo Booth to add effects to your video chats, tabbed chatting, file transfer manager, and more
• Mail – includes stationary templates, to-do list manager, improved search, photo browser, RSS integration, notes, and more
• Parental controls – simple account setup, time limits and bedtimes, web filters, remote control, and more
• Quick Look – preview files without launching an application
• Safari – enhanced find, full history search, resizable text fields, and more
• Spaces – these are like virtual desktops, and you can drag and drop applications from one space to another using the Bird’s-Eye View
• Time Machine – backs up all of your files in case you need to retrieve something that has been removed

Starting October 26th you’ll be able to pick up your copy of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard at an Apple retail store for only $129! That’s quite a steal, but the even better deal is the $199 household license that covers up to five computers. If you bought a new computer after October 1st, 2007 you qualify for the free upgrade. You will, however, have to pay a $10 shipping fee to get it.

Engadget also mentioned that the Boot Camp Beta will not expire until the end of 2007 for Tiger users, and until then you’ll be able to add/edit your Windows partitions. After that time you’ll still be able to run Windows, but you won’t be able to manage the partitions without making the upgrade to Leopard.

Lifehacker has also started a poll wondering what feature is making you lust over the upcoming operating system.

Thanks for the tip CoryC!
