Still paying unnecessary telco charges to make phone calls? Well, things have changed (thanks to Google), and with the integration of Google Voice and Video Chat application onto GMail, they have made calling to United States and Canada for FREE!!!

This is unbelievable. In addition, calling to other countries in the world are achieved at reduced rate - here's a price comparison table if you are interested to know.

User will have to download the plugin and run the program off GMail. So, there is really nothing to install (apart from the browser plugin), which makes it so light-weight and user-friendly.

Indeed, this is an All-in-One solution to integrate telephony with our day-to-day email communication.

PuTTY is a SSH and telnet client, developed originally by Simon Tatham for the Windows platform. Furthermore, it is an open source software that is available with source code.

With the latest development of running 64-bit computing, such as Linux and Windows 7, PuTTY has not developed any release for 64-bit.

However, Spunk has taken it to the next level to come up with a 64-bit release, based on the 0.60 version. I have personally tested it and is pretty impressed with the usage.

This is pretty impressive. From the above, you can see people crowding around the famous painting of Mona Lisa. This is not the usual artwork done by enlarging the picture.

Artist assistants stood beside the 3,604 cups of coffee, which were used to make the giant Mona Lisa portrait in Sydney, Australia. The 3,604 cups of coffee were each filled with different amounts of milk to create the different shades!

I received an email about a joke on UFO. Sharing it with you.

Low on fuel, the alien's flying saucer had to make an emergency landing on Earth.

It pulled up to a nearby gas station on a lonely country road.

The gas station attendant was stunned but he went out to greet his customer anyway. After all, business was business.

On the side of the flying saucer were the letters "UFO".

Curiously, he asked, "Does that stand for 'Unidentified Flying Object'?"

"No", the alien responded, "It means 'Unleaded Fuel Only'."

Have A Great Day!

The merger of the Twin Towers - Facebook and Microsoft took the stage to another level to launch an online version of Microsoft Office software - called Docs.com.

Similar to the Microsoft Office application that you use normally, this online version will allow users to create, edit and share Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents online, just like Google Docs. Built using Microsoft Office 2010 - Docs for Facebook allows users to work from just about anywhere with the familiar Office experience.

The collaboration between Facebook and Microsoft will enable them to take on the powerhouse - Google. Facebook will provide the social networking element whilst Microsoft enables the advanced word processing capabilities.

Currently, this service is only opened out to Facebook users - sadly for those without a Facebook account. The service is still currently in beta stage, though.

Last Wednesday, Microsoft Windows PCs around the world were locked into a reboot loop after the anti-virus giant, McAfee, sent out a flawed routine update.

The purpose of the update was to kill a minor virus, but instead mistakenly classified a key Microsoft Windows operating file as a malicious program and have it deleted. This resulted in computers to shut down and go into an endless cycle of reboot.

Such a mistake has affected several large organisations, such as hospitals and police departments, as well as enterprise customers around the world.
