It appears that users are experiencing issues accessing MySpace.com, both in Australia and Internationally. At this stage we have no word from MySpace staff, however we will endeavor to find out what is happening.

Found out something we don’t know? Comment it below! Want to discuss this? Post in the “Myspace down in Australia and Internationally” post on the MiCCAS.net Forums!

UPDATE (11:33pm): MySpace is back up!

Microsoft has today announced that it will partner with HP to begin distributing it’s Live Search-enabled toolbar on all HP consumer machines that are to be released during 2009, in the US and Canada.

Together with the Toolbar, the search engine of the browser will also be defaulted to Windows Live Search. The Silverlight based toolbar will also feature a range of HP specific buttons including that of the Snapfish system and HP customer support. Microsoft seem very confident with this deal, saying “This is the most significant distribution deal for Live Search that Microsoft has ever done, and we are very pleased to be partnering with HP to help bring Live Search to millions of consumers across North America.”

We’ve all seen the Microsoft Surface, which has recently been released into the public, however it was considered to be a product that would be released on a commercial basis - rather than on an end-user basis.

However, that has all changed since Microsoft have shown a demo at this years Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital conference of Multi-Touch. Multi-Touch basically brings the idea of Microsoft Surface, whereby you can use multiple fingers to perform tasks on the PC. A brilliant example of Multi-Touch is the ability to enlarge and rotate pictures using two fingers - at the same time.

For those who are interested, Microsoft have also released a Video for you to take a look at.
