Globe Philippines together with Nokia Finland has announced that Globe will be the first in the world to offer a new online experience with NOKIAs' NSERIES moblie phones. From NOKIA press release;

Microsoft Vista Beta- Public Download Available Now!

Microsoft has released a beta version of its Vista operating system. Unlike the previously released Vista Beta 2 which is available only to a limited number of testers, this beta release is widely available to the public. This means, more testers, more bugs can be found.This is good because the more bugs that will be found, the more stable the OS will be when it is finally released - I hope they do a good job of debugging all those nasty bugs especially those that are remotely exploitable. But the underside will be, not only techies will be looking , but also hackers looking for exploitable bugs.So if your one of those techies who like to tinker with a new toy, you can download it here. Happy hunting!
