This trick solved many of the problems I had with Leopard: the 10 secs delay for Mail to check my email, slow connection on MSN Messenger, Adium won’t connect to MSN at all…
Two steps to fix this(these) issue(s):

1. go to Network > Advanced > DNS, and add these DNS: 4.2.2.2 & 141.1.1.1, click on “Apply” and close system preferences.
   
2. open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app), and type this command: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Now you can start your applications and you’ll feel the change!

I was chatting with a nice person for the first time on MSN and…

Disconnection… The person went offline…
NB: I sign in to MSN with my dotmac address (@mac.com)

Maria told me to follow the steps, it will probably leads me somewhere, so I clicked on “OK”, I had to “switch” to a @hotmail.com account or to their new @messengeruser.com (that’s an ugly name) account (which is a hotmail account without email support).

I won’t repeat what you all have seen on Steve Jobs’s Keynote and what you’ve read on Apple.com but here are some of my views on Apple new stuffs…

1.  iChat: I was really hoping and expecting for iChat to handle MSN and Yahoo! but it’s clear: iChat IS AIM, No MSN and/or Other IM support…
2. Safari for Windows: just like iTunes for Windows helped Apple to conquer some PC users for the iPod, Safari will probably be the bridge to iPhone
3. Core Animation: the Leopard OS will really be beautiful, great special effects (stacks), amazing transparency effects (menu bar) and reflection (the new dock).

These are the 3 points that I wanted to add   :razz:
