Google Adds Chat To Gmail
Nathan Weinberg writes "Google has added a chat feature to Gmail. It brings Google Talk, minus voice calls, into your webmail client. Gmail now also logs your IMs, whether they originate in Gmail or Google Talk. In the commentary at InsideGoogle, I note that Google recommends you disable Firefox's AdBlock, which can block Google's ads, if you want Gmail Chat to function properly."
TV companies recomend you don't skip commercials with Tivo.
Google will demand you rise up and slay your fascist overlords. For the good of the proletariot.
A William Shatner special!
Date With the AdBot
The gripping tale of love, lust, and betrayal. When James T. Picard (Shatner) meets and falls in love with Grand Canyon Alli (Loken) over internet chat, he thinks he's found the cyber love of his life. After hearing her sing the Rice-a-Roni jingle one too many times, however, he begin's to suspect something is terribly wrong. Frightened, he tries to break it off, but instead finds she's taking over his life: his email, his chat client, even his myspace page! Suddenly, the supreme court supoena's his web search records. Desperate, he tries to delete his Google tool bar history and chat logs, only to discover they're stored, not locally, but on the main server cluster, a formidable array of 30,000 processors protected by one obsessed web-spider: Alli.
