10 New Features of Windows Phone 7 "Mango"
Toshiba and Fujitsu has release their the world's first "Mango" Smartphone IS12T recently. Let's take a look at the 10 new features Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" brings to us.
1. Apps and search play well together
One of the most important additions in Mango is the ability to search the Web via Bing and based on what the user is looking for call up apps related to a respective query. As Microsoft points out, if users are searching for movie times, for example, the new feature will provide users with a direct download point to add the Fandango app to their phones. If it’s implemented well, the feature could have a profound impact on Microsoft’s mobile application support.
2. Full multitasking
One of the biggest complaints of Windows Phone 7 users has been the platform’s lack of full multitasking. With Mango, users will be able to switch between applications easily, as well as have multiple applications running at the same time. Considering competing operating systems already have that functionality, it’s about time Microsoft follows suit.
3. Better Live Tiles
Microsoft has promised far more appealing functionality in its platform’s Live Tiles. According to the company, its Live Tiles will provide more real-time data, as well as allow users to track individuals or groups of people from their devices. Live Tiles is far more useful in Mango and most Windows Phone 7 users will be happy to see that.
4. People Hub is a nice addition
Microsoft is making it easier for people to keep in contact in Mango. When the update is made available, users will be able to find all the online places where they can contact a friend with the help of a new addition called People Hub. One of the biggest issues on mobile devices now is finding where people are. People Hub is designed to cut down on those issues and by the look of things, consumers will be happy to have it.
5. Real-time communication awareness
Following on the People Hub theme, Microsoft’s platform will allow users to send messages to others wherever they are. So, if a friend is available in IM, a user’s message will be sent there. If they’re not, it will go to them via SMS. Mango’s real-time communication awareness might just be the best part of the platform’s new people-centric additions.
6. An all-in-one Inbox
It might be a small update to many folks, but for those who have multiple e-mail accounts it’s a big one: with Mango, users will be able to combine all of their e-mail accounts into a single Inbox. Considering Windows Phone 7’s competitors also offer that functionality, it’s nice to see Microsoft follow suit. But as with many of these updates, shouldn’t they have already been available when the operating system launched?
7. Better browsing (thankfully)
Microsoft has promised far better browsing in Mango. The company says that users will benefit from hardware-accelerated graphics and Internet Explorer 9, which comes with full support for HTML5. Microsoft says that the browsing experience in Mango will be “faster” and “mirrors the desktop.” That remains to be seen. But if Microsoft is right, consumers will be happy to have Mango.
8. Local search built-in
One of the key advantages of smartphones is that they can go everywhere. With that in mind, Microsoft says that Mango will come with local search built-in, thus providing searchers with local content at the top of results. If done properly, Bing search in Mango could be far more useful than it currently is in Windows Phone
9. Enterprise features galore
Microsoft has loaded Mango up with a host of enterprise features, including support for saving documents in the cloud via Office 365 and searching Exchange Server from the device. The addition of support for the Microsoft Lync instant messaging client and the ability to quickly access entire e-mail folders from the device’s home screen should also help make Mango a more appealing enterprise option.
10. Visual search, anyone?
Visual search is becoming an increasingly important way to search from mobile devices. With the visual-search feature built into Mango, users will be able to snap a photo of something and search the Web for more information on it. Will the addition trump Google Goggles? Time will tell. But it might be a welcome addition for those who don’t always want to type out a search query.

How to Loop Play PowerPoint Presentations
PowerPoint Presentations are not always played live. Sometimes, like we are showing the product PowerPoint presentations, we won't repeat the presentation but we can make the PowerPoint loop play so that the people who don't catch the presentation can get to know our product.In order to make the PowerPoint loop play works efficiently, remember to set the animations, transitions and timings well in advance.
With an easy setting we can make the PowerPoint loop play:
(For all PowerPoint versions, the setting is the same)
1. Click "Slide Show" on the ribbon, and choose "Set Up Slide Show" in the "Set Up" section.
2. In the pop up "Set Up Show" window, check the box for "Loop continuously until 'Esc'".
Angela Lindvall h&m
I usually don’t go that much at any H&M stores or even pay attention to their catalog, and furthermore, H&M has their own bi-annual magazine. Not exactly like Acne paper, the magazine is more like an editorial/trend catalog as they just use their own items and have some articles about celebrities/catwalks stories.
Angela Lindvall on the cover definitely caught my attention. A powerful cover really Vogue-like and a beautiful Angela as always reveal the fall Fashion trends. Curious that I am, I’ve decided to take a look at the interior pages. Their new collections are definitely – obviously – highly-inspired from the RTW F/W 2009 runways, you’ll find everything that are making the trends this fall but on the cheap side of the wallet.
Angela is featured in a very nice editorial, photographed by David Vasiljevic, wearing an 80′s and Balmain-ish inspired collection. Like a weather report I can forecast in a few months a storm of sequined jackets, deconstructed jeans, ankle boots and large shoulders all in black… thanks to the very affordable prices. I kind of liked the corsets, very feminine and will add some sexy to our cities..

Angela Lansbury Paul Mccartney
A few short years ago Paul McCartney was a dead-ringer for Angela Lansbury which even led to speculation that Lansbury had actually replaced Paul in The Beatles during the "Paul is Dead" thingie back in the most gear and fab Sixties.
However Macca's cast aside his Lansbury looks and now goes for something of a Stan Laurel with dyed hair look.

Angela Lansbury Miss Marple
Das kleine englische Dorf St. Mary Mead, Heimat von Miss Marple, ist hoch erfreut, als eine große amerikanische Filmgesellschaft entscheidet, dort einen Film zu drehen, der die Beziehung zwischen Maria Stuart und Elisabeth I., gespielt von den berühmten Schauspielerinnen Marina Rudd und Lola Brewster, erzählt. Marina reist mit ihrem Ehemann Jason an, und als sie erkennt, dass Lola auch im Film mitspielen wird, geht sie an die Decke, da sie und Marina sich unübersehbar nicht ausstehen können. Marina hat Todesdrohungen erhalten; kurz darauf stirbt Heather Babcock auf einer Feier im Herrenhaus, nachdem sie einen vergifteten Cocktail getrunken hat, der für Marina bestimmt war. Jeder glaubt nun, dass Marina das eigentliche Opfer hätte sein sollen, doch Inspektor Craddock, der den Fall bearbeitet, ist sich nicht sicher, weswegen er seine Tante Miss Jane Marple um Hilfe bittet.

Angela Lansbury Young
One of my favorite things about watching BBC productions is that everyone is so familiar. I always recognize some of the actors from other movies or tv shows. The fun part is trying to guess where I saw them before. Emma was a wonderful example of this because I recognized half the cast!!! Here are the people I knew:
Last Sunday I had the pleasant surprise of stumbling across the new BBC version of Emma on “Masterpiece Classic”. As most of you know, I adore watching adaptations of Jane Austen’s books. Many Austen movies are among my favorites of all time. I really liked the Gwenyth Paltrow version of Emma (mainly because Toni Collette and Jeremy Northam are A-MAZING), so I didn’t know what I was going to think about this new one.
Well, I have only seen the first episode (there are three all together) but I love it!!!!! Romola Garai plays Emma and she is so adorable! She does a great job of making Emma likable and relate-able. As Laura Linney pointed out in her “Masterpiece Classic” introduction, Emma is not an easy character to like. She is rather stuck up, meddlesome, and does not really listen when people tell her she is wrong. But Romola makes Emma seem like a fun person to be around, and there is great chemistry between her and Johnny Lee Miller who plays Mr. Knightly. I am really excited to watch it tonight (I have actually been looking forward to it all week!!) I thought since there are only two hours left, that it would end tonight, but apparently they are playing one hour tonight and then the last hour next week. Curses! Those crafty PBS people are making me wait a whole nother week!!! (Nother is a word I picked up after reading A Whole Nother Story by Dr. Cuthbert Soup……very cool book, you should check it out.)
Whoa. I just tried to watch it again, but I only made it about a minute in before I lost it. Anyway, the trailer is for the movie Hachiko: A Dog’s Story, which I had never heard of before. Apparently it is being released straight to DVD, which is kind of sad considering it has Richard Gere and Joan Allen in it, who are pretty big names (not to mention a GORGEOUS dog). Well, I cried like a baby the first time I saw it, and then tried to forget about it and move on with my life.
Then I saw this post on EW that talked about the trailer and I couldn’t help but think, “I wonder if that is based on Greyfriars Bobby?” For those of you who don’t know, back in long ago Edinburgh a cute little dog named Bobby followed his owner (who happened to be a policeman) everywhere he went. Then, when his owner died (sniffle, sniffle) he spent most of the next 14 YEARS sitting next to his owner’s grave. The cemetery was named Grefriars Kirkyard and that is how he became known as Grefriars Bobby. Well, you can imagine how my mom and I looked after our nice tour guide told us this story while standing in front of the statue dedicated to this loyal little guy. Needless to say we were both sobbing hysterically enough that people were muttering “silly Americans.” Here is my very own picture of the statue. Luckily my tears did not interfere with the shot.
I've posted before about how I don't generally care how old an actor or actress is. If Rachel McAdams can convince me that she's 16 when she is in fact 25, more power to her, right? There is, however, a limit to my I-believe-you-are-whatever-age-you-claim-to-be stance. That limit appears when one character's age is relative to another character's age, and the relativity of said ages is important to the story.
Confusing?
Here, I'll give you some examples of the worst age discrepancies in Hollywood.
I know this is an oldie, but it's a goodie. In The Last Crusade (which was not, by the way, the "last" crusade, but that's beside the point), Sean Connery and Harrison Ford play father and son. They are eleven and a half years apart in age. Possible? Sure. Likely? Really not. Especially considering Daddy Jones is a PhD.
