If you are a user of Hotmail then you will soon notice a new look with your e-mail application. The new name is outlook.com. The service is provided by Microsoft and has an easy to use interface that is simple and not confusing to figure out. Your mail folders are all clearly marked on the left side of the side of the screen. This is the format that most of us are used to see to seeing. Your e-mail messages will be viewed in the center of the screen and you will have your ads displayed on the right. The interface is similar to what you will find on Windows 8. The design concept is optimized for a touch screen computer, just like Windows 8. As I have been saying repeatably, if you are using a conventional computer stay away from Windows 8. Windows 8 is great if you have a tablet or touch screen phone but is hard to navigate on a regular computer. You should not have a problem with outlook.com on a conventional computer, however. The interface is simply made more streamlined to take touch screens into consideration.

The End Of The Postal Service?
Today we are going to talk a bit about how the Internet has affected the United States Postal Service. Ever since the invention of E-Mail, the number of first class letters that is sent has been shrinking.In fact since 2006, it is down by about 30%. In addition, most companies are pushing to try to get you to go paperless and only receive your bill statements online. This might be fine for some fol;ks but for many, including myself, I want my statements sent the way that it has been done for decades, through the Post Office.
