But Here’s a interesting piece of art i found on YouTube. It seems to be a very old Youtube Ad which i think is surely made before 1999 when the Office Assistant actually came out from the Box. 

Comparing it to today, i think the world has changed too much, especially in technology.  Well, it’s still not clear if the ad is the first microsoft ads, but anyways it’s worth checking out. The song playing in the background is hilarious though. Video After the Break.

msmail

Well, this is a very nasty situation which you would not like to get yourself in, but apparently, Neowin reported that about 10,000 of the Windows Hotmail accounts had been hacked, and their passwords had been posted to pastebin.com, a Website for developers tho share codes, etc.

Don’t feel happy that you can get into someone’s account, because the list has been removed by the website after it was published on 1st October.

Most of the accounts hacked were @live.com, @hotmail.com and @msn.com. While it has been found that most of the accounts were from UK users who used the Mail service.

This gives Serious blow to Microsoft, and this may be caused due to some loophole or something.

There has been no response form Microsoft, but we are waiting for Microsoft’s answer. Also, Please do change your password immediately and the security question too. Well, this could be a part of Mass Phisihing Scheme or something we’re not sure about. Stay tuned for Updates.

Update : The List from A-B has just 10,000 Email id’s and so you can guess the lists till z will have how much information!
