It’s unlikely Apple is announcing any more big products after the recent launch of the new iMacs, iPods and iLife software. However, if you check the Apple store today they have their maintenance sign posted. New products or just regular maintenance, you decide.

This is an amazing use of existing technologies merged with the human power of Amazon Mechanical Turk. Amazon has team up with several organizations; detailed satellite imagery has been made available for his last known whereabouts.
Users are asked to review the satellite imagery and tag images with foreign objects for further review by authorities.

Apple has also officialy announced a new iPod, the iPod Touch which is basically an iPhone without the phone. The iPod Touch is loaded with new features:
The Apple store lists the iPod Touch as being not compatiable with Nike+ which is sad news for all us Nike+ owners. I see no reason why Nike+ couldn’t be supported as the new iPod Touch is flash based and compact, maybe they will be releasing Nike+ 2.0 for the new touch screen… one can only dream.

Microsoft has quietly released an update to the very popular Windows Live Messenger. This version includes a re-vamped interface which is more customizable along with better parental controls. Parents are now able to set up rules regarding signing in and adding of contacts to help you control your teens chat use (although your teen probably knows all your passwords and how to bypass any locks you have on your computer).
After testing, it shows to be stable and the new graphics make it worth the download if you’re into that sort of thing. Otherwise, this new beta doesn’t add much more to the user experience…. cough *vista* cough.
