Internet Explorer 9 Now Available

The final version of Internet Explorer 9 is finally ready after months of beta testing and was officially launched at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

RIP Microsoft Zune

Microsoft finally decided to pull the plug on their Zune MP3 players and work on Zune integration with WP7. Its been a good run for Microsoft for its standalone MP3 player in an iPod/iPhone dominated MP3 player market. At least the Zune HD is futureproof since there won’t be a Zune HD 2 coming in the foreseeable future unless the line is somehow revived in the future.

Avatar Kinect

During Steve Ballmer’s pre-show keynote address, he demonstrated the features of Avatar Kinect. The most important of which was the fact that Kinect sensors will now be able to track facial expressions. The video was actually quite impressive and shows the life-like features of the avatars. Avatar Kinect will also feature “conference rooms” where users can choose between 15 different settings to hold conversations with their friends. Pretty cool overall and best of all, it will be free for Xbox Gold members!
