New Windows Mobile 6.5 on HTC Touch HD

I been using WinMo cell phone last 2 years.I had it before WinMo 5.1 and now i am using WinMo 6.1 with At&t Tilt.WinMo 5 is totally sucked.Let me just say that beside the daily resets WinMo 6.1 is really good. Threaded chats. Easy way to filter emails and chats and hot keys to get thing done really quick. Copy/Paste.

Now WinMo coming with new Version called WinMo 6.5. WinMo 6.5 looks likes it going to be a cross between the iPhone, Android.I really like the user interface of new coming WinMo 6.5. I hope this one is more better then 6.1.

Experian-based FICO Scores To Be Discontinued On myFICO.com

One of my friend send it to me via email.I thought let me share with you guys.If any one using this service then you won't use this after 13th Feb.

Attention Lenders:

Fair Isaac has received notification from Experian of its decision to terminate the agreement which allows the distribution of Experian-based FICO® scores and reports from www.myFICO.com.

The change will be effective on February 14th, 2009. While Experian’s decision eliminates the consumers’ ability to see their own FICO® scores, it will not impact your ability to use FICO® scores in your lending decisions.

Specifically:
• This action by Experian is specific to our consumer business unit.

• Fair Isaac is dedicated to offering FICO® Scores to financial institutions via all three of our bureau partners to provide the most independent and fair representation of a consumer’s credit picture.

• Experian recently recommitted to continue offering FICO® Scores to its lending clients.

• To meet consumers’ credit empowerment demands, Fair Isaac will continue to offer both Equifax and TransUnion credit management services through our myFICO.com web site.
Be assured that we will communicate any change in status to you should it occur. Until then, we look forward to providing quality analytic scores and services as we work towards advancing innovations in our offerings.

If you have any further questions, please contact your Fair Isaac representative.

EtherPad: Work Together In Real Time

EtherPad streamlines the wordsmithing process like never before. Previously, reaching agreement meant sending multiple copies of documents by email. With EtherPad, text can quickly be finalized by having all the stakeholders come to the same pad, make their edits, and collectively sign off on the resulting document.For example, EtherPad was used to edit the final draft of this very web page.

EtherPad is useful whenever multiple people with computers need to work together in real time.This all kind of work can be finished by this website.

• Meeting Notes
  
• Better Meetings
  
• Teleconferencing
  
• Drafting and Editing Prose
  
• Engineering Phone Interviews
  

Other custom in-browser text editors tend to be either slow or quirky, owing to the difficulty of using browsers' built-in text editing mechanisms while extending them in new ways. EtherPad uses a novel editing engine, developed and refined at AppJet over many months, that provides a solid user experience without compromising on responsiveness."
