If you have modified your computer theme in XP before and you want to change it back, here is a short tutorial on how to change your theme back.

Firstly, on the desktop, right click on the desktop and click on properties.

Then click on the theme tab if it’s not already selected. In the drop down box, select

Click Apply, then OK.

Your computer will then configure the new changes and then you have successfully changed your computer theme.

Tip: To know the difference between Apply and Ok, click The Difference between “Apply” and “Ok”.

A few moments ago, Myspace has changed their Find Friend page. Instead of the main text box search they previously had, it is now easier to find friends through email, and under that is the people you may know tool.

On the right hand side is the search for people, and it is just one search box and no radio buttons to select from making it easier and more user friendly. Then you have the Find friends in Schools, and then a search for people with similar interests and careers.

No wonder why I could not search for some new friends below. This change is very good.

But to what? We want some suggestions on what we can change our Blog name too.

We are looking for a global name that can relate to our Technology, Owners, Entertainment and Untrue Blogs.

Suggestions are welcomed, please provide your names in comments below.

Thanks very much,

The Jicola Blog Team

Google has changed their image search preview to something that I like. It now lets you search more images while looking at the website your previous search image is on. It is much neater, does not have as much clutter and is easy to read.

Its a good change Google. Check image search out here

Another change is coming again in the next couple of days which will restructure and categories all these posts. This will so the blogs condenses its audience a bit more so it becomes stronger.

We will still keep our our Untrue blog, but the Jicola.com Blog will be split up into further categories and subcategories.

We hope to see your shortly.

Update:

We have changed our new theme and decided to keep with this one. Please comment on your thoughts.

A recent tip off i received from an anonymous email that i received that was forwarded to me from the MSN headquarters talks about the future of MSN, Windows Live Messenger and Hotmail, where it is heading, will it still be free and much more. This 50 page document in extensive details, outlines what they are planing to do with the current free Windows Live Messenger. In the near future, (the next major release of the popular software) will require a subscription. There will be many more enhancements in this new version including information on what friends have blocked you, and many more cool features that are still currently in development. Most of the new enhancements will be “find out who’s blocked you” etc.

So why do you have to pay?

In this report, many complaints they receive are that there are too many ads. To overcome this, CEO’s, have decide to release a subscription based, ad free version of Windows Live Messenger with features not available in the free version.

Who would want to pay for MSN?

Well, at MSN headquarters, they have decided to release another update of Windows Live Messenger. To continue using Windows Live Messenger, you will be forced to upgrade, or purchase a subscription. But heres the catch… Many features such as sharing folders, webcam, microphone support will be wiped and every tenth message you receive talking to your friends will be an ad. Every new conversation you have, you will have to wait 5 seconds for the ads to disappear.

Why are they doing this?

Microsoft are MSN are just becoming greedy, and its time for another pay increase for the ‘big bosses’. Forcing you to pay for Windows Live Messenger and MSN, will prove that they can increase their wage, because more money is coming in from the popular Windows Live Messenger software.

It is still yet unknown when Windows Live Messenger will start costing, so beware for when it does happen!
