gTalk To Get Video Boost?

lotusleaf writes "According to an article at PCWorld, "Google Inc. has bought video conferencing software from Marratech AB", "The client software runs on Windows 2000 or XP, Mac OS X 10.4, or versions of Linux". Could this provide a cross-platform video conferencing boost to gTalk?"

  1. As a renter in Texas . . . by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You sig says:

    If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent Texas and live in Hell

    -Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan

    And I'd just like to add, as a tenent in Texas, I believe the General may be my landlord. The fucker won't fix ANYTHING or do ANYTHING other than send me threatening letters that he is too cheap to send certified. When I take repairs out of my rent check he leaves 15 minute rambling messages on my machine about how bad his mortgages are and literally starts crying on the phone. The address I send my rent checks to is in California, which suddenly makes a lot of sense.

  2. Stop whining by wal9001 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm in high school. I got a part time job last summer. I bought myself a Macbook Pro. It's really not that difficult.

    Your best bet is to stop being a whiny bitch on slashdot and learn how to do something useful. Companies tend to hire people who can do useful things.

    Or I suppose you could keep browsing craigslist to see if anyone wants to pay you to be a whiny bitch. It just seems unlikely.

    I'd prefer if the Jabber clients could get file transfer working first.
    (For users on all side of filewalls.)
    Maybe Google can kickstart this by using one way of doing it.
