Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories, downloads, and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about.
Windows only If you've been looking for a light desktop email application I'd give EmailTray a high recommendation. This isn't something that is designed to replace those full-fledged programs such as Outlook or Thunderbird, but when it comes to a simple mail manager and notifier it does quite well. Plus this will monitor multiple webmail accounts, POP or IMAP, for free.

Note: This WrapUp is a bit longer than usual since we are making up for two weeks of news, instead of the typical one week.
The last time we mentioned Microsoft's I'm initiative was just a couple of weeks ago when they announced that they had already raised $1.3 million dollars in a year. While impressive, reader "Iain Purdie" noted that this initiative is only available in the United States.
In this day in age, you can never be too careful to protect your children from the harms of the World. The Internet can be an amazing tool yet at the same time, it poses many risks to your child.
Earlier this year we did an in-depth review of Object Desktop, where we walked you through the over two dozen applications it comes bundled with for customizing Windows. Object Desktop includes WindowBlinds, TweakVista, and even Deskscapes 2.0 which will be released early next year.
It seems like I've been getting an unusually large number of phishing emails lately, and I've began wondering whether everyone realizes how they can report phishing emails with their email provider. This article will highlight what phishing is, and why/how to properly report it.
At last, Microsoft has launched @live.com email addresses! These addresses were originally rumored to launch back in June of 2006 but ended up being a no-show. Between then and now there have been multiple "tricks" or loopholes that were found (here, here, here, and here) which allowed people to create accounts before they actually launched like I did (notice the "registered since" date):
I'm not sure if you should be getting your hopes up quite yet, but rumors have started to circulate around the Internet that Microsoft will be opening up the @live.com email addresses tomorrow for public registration. There is no official word from Microsoft that this will be happening, but the timing sounds about right.
Just last week we wrote about a service Yahoo! provides that lets you bring your existing emails, contacts, and calendar from your existing email account. The only problem, as my brother pointed out when using it, is that you could get locked out of your Gmail account temporarily because of the heavy access:
There’s lots of news coming from the Windows Live Blog regarding upgrades and improvements to Windows Live Hotmail. Probably the biggest upgrade is that all users now have 5GB of storage (paid users will have 10GB).
Finally, there’s an update regarding the @live.com email addresses! Last year around this time, it was rumored that they were going to be released. We waited, and waited, and nothing ever came of it.
Apple has started a trend with their Get A Mac ads. They are 30–second clips that leave people thinking about the benefits of owning an Apple computer. The main reason that many of the ads are memorable is because of the humor used to portray the different features that Macs have.
Microsoft just announced the release of Windows Live Hotmail this morning. Word got out last week that today was going to be the big day, and it was indeed. Windows Live Hotmail is now available in 36 different languages on the Hotmail website.
If any of you were beta testers for Windows Live Hotmail, did you get your gift yesterday? I’m not writing this for the sake of it being news, but more for the sake of how cheesy it actually is.
According to BetaNews, Microsoft is preparing to launch their Windows Live Hotmail service in the United States sometime in May. It has already been launched in India and Belguim, and other countries like France and the UK should expect it in the next few days.
