    They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:
    • Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call
    • Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room
    • Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away
    Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password.

    If you have Google Desktop 2 (Beta) and you double click on Google Talk's titlebar, your contact list will dock to the sidebar. It's great. :)

    forwarning though, Google Desktop does not work with NOD32 (antivirus).

    btw, my name is of course: [email protected]

    In the about box (right click the taskbar icon) there should be this play 23 21 13 16 21 19 . 7 1 13 5 substitute letters for numbers and you get "wumpus.game" add this to to your freinds list minus the quotes and play an old irc game!

    I can just see the Google G-Box 720 being a major player in the next-next-next-next-gen console war.
