I, for one, welcome our new Google overlords.

The internets are abuzz today with Google happenings, first and foremost being Google talk, an IM client which also features audio communication. So it's like a free phone call. Don't get mad if you don't have windows though, you can use Google talk through iChat too.

Secondly, Gmail is now open to everyone, which isn't surprising since you need a gmail account for Google talk apparrently. And everyone I know has like 50 invites anyway.

Also, a nifty new Gmail feature, you can send email as any email address you want, which most people probably don't care about but I think is awesome, because I want my emails to be from my .alum address and not my gmail.com addy (something I used to be able to do with Comcast). It's also awesome because it has to be verified that you actually have that address, so people can't put fake addresses in there.

In other computery news, McAfee Virus scan is now free for Comcast subscribers.

You can get a free iTunes download if you sign up for spam from Wells Fargo. You can probably opt-out of the spam after you've dl'd your songs
