A bunch of live products - hotmail, messenger , home and search - won the Webware 100 award in different categories. At first I was a bit surprised to see Windows Live Home in this list. I mean, this page was introduced what about an year ago and at that time, it did not offer much besides the cool design. 

However, when I checked the Windows Live Home today, I was pleasantly surprised to see what I saw! It does a really cool job of integrating, all things Windows Live. It integrates, mail, calendar, "what's new" feed with pictures, and also the Office Live docs!! Yes! I am really impressed by this! Way to go Windows Live Home. I can get to all of Windows Live and Live Search from this one single destination. And the design is also pretty neat. Check it out

Live Search launched a revamped News Search landing page, now showing categorized news, local news and multimedia news. Now all they got to do is added news by country section and have the ability to customize it. Check it out.

News by categories	Local News	News Video

It also looks like "Live Search" branding and search UI has also evolved. Clearly more emphasis on Live Search than on Windows Live. Its becoming more and more clear now that there really are three brands, MSN, Windows Live and Live Search

Rumors are flying around that XBOX 360 might be getting a motion-sensitive controller similar to Wii Remote. MTV news is reporting that an undisclosed source has reported that the XBOX team is working on a Wii remote-style controller for the Xbox 360. There is a boring sketch of the prototype floating around as well.
