Actually, it's more like the next SF4 costumes available as DLC.
But still...

Onion
Cristiano Rodriguez, nicknamed "Cebola" (Portuguese word for onion) was the main character of the incredible match of (Atlético Madrid 2-2 FC Porto).
His pace yesterday reminded me of the times Quaresma was still in FC Porto. All those dribbles through the left wing, with the support of Cissoko were a terrible headache for the poor Atlético's defensive side. It also reminded me of the formation I usually use in FIFA 09 with Manchester United. I use Evra as a Left Winger and Tevez in the left corridor going through. It was a delight to watch the match. Lisando did a great job getting the ball in and Hulk was just unlucky not to score as well.
When I said incredible game, I mean that the Portuguese team has played like a charm and dominated. A tie is too much of an unfair result for Porto.
For United's match, a draw was also an unfair result. The attacking side was always ManUtd, driven by Ronaldo, and Inter didn't do squat on the 1st half. On the second half the tides were turned as Inter had the ball all the time, but with no strikes at goal, it's impossible to score.
As Inter didn't produce chances despite the possession, the chances were always coming from Ronaldo who always hit with danger, but never quite managed to get it in.
Let's see how Sporting does against Bayern tonight.

Champions' League: Tomorrow's biggest clashes:
Atlético Madrid VS FC PORTO
Inter Milan VS Manchester United
Needless to mention, I am rooting for the away teams.
Windows Live Messenger 2009
Today Microsoft has forced invited their dear Live users to upgrade/update (I will explain later why both these words are wrong) to the latest, arguably bugfree, version of their Live Product.
Despite my sincere nuisance of this move (that the upgrade is actually mandatory and we can't plan it to make it at a later time), I would like to point out that only home users can actually use the installer.
A bad design move made by them (the 1 man team doing messenger) of not allowing business OS (i.e. Windows 2003) to install (it actually works, because the kernel is the same as XP), so we have to use the offline installer that doesn't complain at installation time.
Why the update word is a bad word for this process:
You update data, you update your system, you update your fashion statement:
In resume, you update collections that are not described by a number. Update is more of a collective process, or a collection of upgrades, depending on the target.
The label that shows up: "You need to update to the latest version" is wrong.
Why the upgrade word is a bad word for this process:
You have to remove old version before putting in the new version. THIS IS NOT AN UPGRADE. This is a RE-INSTALL. The proof of this is that I have to go in the options and change again and again that I do not want the sounds and the "windows live today" crap.
I would sincerely like the installer to do it for me, preserving my settings, as a true UPGRADE, but it doesn't.
This brings the biggest problem to the bag that is that you can't uninstall WLM in a clean way if you went in and installed in Win2003. Choosing it in "Add/Remove Programs" doesn't do a thing. Perhaps as a pay back of forcing it to install on an unsupported system. (I can definitely imagine a MS guy saying "suckers", at this moment).
Solutions?
Yes, 4 of them.
1- You delete every trace of folders, files, registry entries and other craps that WLM puts in your system. This is NOT an easy task.
2- Find the previous (your current version's MSI) on the web (not an easy task also), download it, right click and choose uninstall. Pray that it works because it only works if it is exactly the same version that you have and not all the times.
3- Time machine and parallel universe swap (not recommended though).
4- Convince everyone to use other IM.
Good luck upgrading/installing/etc.
