Sure. It's funny, my firm's extranets were getting pretty complicated, and I started to use this technique about 18 months ago. I don't remember seeing any code anywhere, but I wanted to do a GMail-esque "Star" routine, and I just came to the conclusion that I could do it with a hidden iframe and some event handlers. I used it a lot until I got hold of a simple AJAX piece of code which I think is easier to target.
McAfee is free with Comcast broadband these days. You can't fall off at that price! (Especially when my wife works for Comcast and I get the internet and cable free anyway...)
Don't forget the marvellous BBC7. Loads and loads of great comedy and drama. ReplayRadio has been a godsend for me since moving to the USA, allowing me to "self-podcast" loads of Radio4 and BBC7 content. I actually listen to British radio more than I EVER did when I lived in the UK. Time-shifting is where its at. I applaud the BBC's early trials with real podcasting, and hope they open it up to more shows, allowing me to drop ReplayRadio eventually, which is clunky, but gets the job done nicely! My Philadelphia commute is full of shows like I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Just A Minute, The Likely Lads, Yes Minister, Steptoe and Son, stuff like that. And its great they are playing the Big Finish Doctor Who plays now, even if I have them on CD already.
A couple of weeks ago, someone suggested on BBC Radio 4's "Genius" show (very funny BTW), that the days of the week should be pulled out of a random "lottery draw" once every 7 days, just to add a bit of spice to the week...
On a related note, don't miss BBC7's 4 week broadcast of Doctor Who, Invaders From Mars starring Paul McGann. If you're quick, that link should get you Episode 1. Episode 2 is broadcast today and will be available to Listen Again from Sunday.
And for those who missed it, Canada will get Region 1 NTSC DVDs of the first series of Doctor Who on February 14th. So for those unlucky enough not to have seen it yet, here's your chance.
Big Finish make all sorts of audio drama, mostly Doctor Who and related, but lots of other stuff too. Judge Dredd, Sapphire and Steel etc. Check out WhoNA in the US who have a very large selection available.
You beat me to it! The other thing I could suggest is the goldmine of comedy and drama on BBC Radio 4 and BBC7. I use ReplayRadio (free trial to rip this stuff to MP3 and listen to it in the car at least 3 days a week, the other 2 usually reserved for Big Finish.
I use Replay Radio for "podcasting" stuff like this. I record a slew of radio shows to MP3 every Friday night, and play them throughout the week. Been working like a charm for 6 months. BBC7 is full of gems!
And if you are logged in, the GIM will use AJAX to deliver messages to and fro. I'm positive it will be a web-based "Google Suggest" type app. Probably have the option to allow key presses to fly between us automatically, or you'll be able to knock it back to "SEND" if you don't want the other user to see your half-composed thought.
Ditto. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing obviously. I tried to fool it with a &foo=.xml or something like that, but still no go. I expect they'll fix that soon.
MapQuest, Google Maps or any other online service are all very well in themselves, but in the absence of an in-car navigation system, you MUST back them up those printed directions with a paper map of your route/destination.
If you take a wrong turning, and relying on printed MapQuest directions, you're screwed without a paper map. Hell, even people who think they know their local area well sometimes get a shock if you show them a map of their local trip and realize what a round-about way they went. I'll always try looking for a "crow flies" route, and often avoid heavy traffic because of it.

I listen to spoken-word "internet radio" EVERY day in the car. BBC7 and BBC Radio 4 are goldmines for me.
Replay Radio has their own sound-card driver which means any streams I rip to MP3 do not include any "IM" type beeps and bloops.
Works great for me. I rip next week's worth of shows every Friday night.
Bah! Beat me to it....
True. In ancticpation I downloaded a lovely new anti-virus program from a nice email that happened to land in my inbox.

Subject was
"Ar3 yoo safe? Get l4test anti-v1ru5 softw4r3 packge n0w!"

Despite that, at least you can read it top to bottom without having to navigate past half a dozen crappy banner ads..... Good old Auntie!

FYI.
Replay Radio works great. No hassle at all.

I think the author has missed the subtext of the Amazon logo, that being the A-->Z indicator.
GoogleZon with its O-->Z doesn't really work....
They love pressing buttons at the museum and the zoo!!! Oh, and Billy Connolly can record his "FUCK OFF! You're standing on my balls!"
Funnily enough, that was the first thing I thought of too. cheap example, turn highlighting on. Caused Firefox to run slowly though....

I've already seen colleagues of mine walking across the road in A9's blockview.
