Google-fu
A while back I said to someone I know that works at Microsoft (not saying who, to protect the innocent) that they should release a version of Internet Exploder that has built in adware/spyware/spam protection that, by default, blocks Google ads. Then, they launch their own web ad program. Well, you see where this is going. Anyway, they may someday wish they had taken that advice since Google is getting in on the operating system game.
Also, Google Voice looks to be pretty cool.

I’ve been using Google Voice for a couple of weeks now and I like it.

I’ll second the Google Voice thing. I’ve been using it in its beta form for over a year. it’s pretty cool. i recommend it. i have a land line and a cell. the ringer on the land line is turned off. when the cell rings and i am home, i pick up the land line. the only trouble is that some people cannot listen when i give them my phone number and redial what their call waiting says, wasting cell minutes when i am at home, or ringing my house phone silently. there’s no voice mail there.
