Paint.NET v3.0 Final

Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Server 2003. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.

It started development at Washington State University as an undergraduate senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for setup and shell-integration related functionality.

10 Minute Mail

Did you ever find yourself wanting to register an account somewhere, and that somewhere asked for your e-mail address to confirm something? You know you’re gonna get spammed by doing it, but you don’t have any choice - you need that account now; maybe in ten minutes you won’t, but you will now. That’s where the 10 minute mail comes in handy. Go there, register an account (a random one will be provided), the confirmation will come, and you won’t have any problem registering your account. After that - the e-mail is just deleted, no questions asked. If you still need some time, it can be extended by another 10 minutes, and another 10 minutes, and another 10 minutes, for as long as you need.

Windows Live Mail moves to M9 Beta

What’s new with the new build? Well first and foremost, it’s fast. For those of us that have been with the beta since the beginning, Windows Live Mail has gone from being quite the slug to impressively fast.

Next, comes news from Ben that “classic mode” which came about in direct response to feedback, and first appeared in M5, will now be the default transition mode for those that transfer over from Hotmail. Apparently the Windows Live Mail interface with the reading pane takes some getting used to, and “classic” is like Hotmail, but with more features, a cleaner look, and more speed. Ben says that WL Mail classic is faster than Hotmail, and in just playing around with it now it seems very fast indeed.

The migration from M8 to M9 is being phased in, so if you’re using Windows Live Mail and don’t see any difference (the new build is 11.09.0000.0119), then you should be seeing it within a week or so.

When will this beta run out of “M”s and be released to the world, bringing with it @live.com addresses and a transition from Hotmail for the 200 million users worldwide? Truthfully we were expecting it already, but some final tweaking on the Classic mode seemed to be in order to get ready for the big switch. Shouldn’t be long now, and it will be very interesting to see how all those Hotmail users react to the Windows Live brand.
