An update of Microsoft Live Search for Windows Mobile software has been released by Microsoft. Microsoft update consequently brings some new features for it.

The four new features are:

• 4 day weather forecasts
• Search the web from the Live Search software without opening a web browser first
• View maps and locations shared by other Virtual Earth users
• Take addresses from your contact list and see where your friends are on a map

You can download the Live Search software by visiting m.live.com on your mobile device. If you don’t want to download anything, you can still use the web-based Windows Live search engine. The Live Search application is pretty slick and much faster than the web interface at loading maps and satellite imagery.

Abandonware refers to  computer software that is no longer claimed, owned, or copyrighted. While the term has been applied largely to older games, other classes of software are sometimes described as such. It is also refers to software no longer available for legitimate purchase or of a certain age. This is a concept that gained pre-eminence with the emergence of the Internet, when the sharing of files and information was brought to a whole new level altogether. In most cases, abandonware is made up of old games that have aged and that become something like a curiosity, yet in some cases abandonware software can be new products that lose their commercial tag because the programmer decides to do so. That was the case with the Amiga game “Genetic Species”, which became abandonware shortly after it was released as a parting gesture from the programmers when they left the Amiga scene. Visit to SquakeNet.Com if you are looking for such game and here you will also have more than just fun,  as it is a game portal that features more than 6,000 abandonware selections for download. You can browse the database by category, and there are even trailers that can be watched online.
