Harry Harry Harry!!! What have you done?

Harry Potter has been in the news for a couple of reasons during the last 2 days. One is the new play he is performing in london theatre, where we see a grown up guy "Naked". Most parents wont not want to associate the actor and book together anymore. So much for creative freedom.

And ofcourse, the second reason is that the new book in the series of Harry Potter is releasing.

Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows by J.K. Rowling, the seventh and final book in the best-selling
series, has been scheduled for release at 12:01 a.m. on July 21, 2007, it
was announced today by Scholastic, the global children's publishing,
education and media company.

Yahoo! Mail Beta

Yahoo has recently launched Yahoo! Beta, which features a Outlook-type interface. The interface is the second face-lift in the recent years, after Gmail gave tough compitetion to free email service. The advent of "free email" was started by hotmail, however, is now solely in the hands of yahoo and google.

You can find screenshots of the new Yahoo!Beta here. I was given a option to try the beta version, however, could not even login-in to the system. After all, it is still Beta!
