Google To Make IM Clent Similar To Trillan?

Google just hired the lead developer of GAIM. GAIM is an IM client for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux that is compatible with the following IM Servises: AIM, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo!, Jabber, IRC, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, Zephyr networks, and GroupWise Messenger. Could Google be making an IM client similar to Trillian. If they did I would sure use it.

Joe:
Bout time. Trillian is cool, but I always start by using it and then end up back using 3 different IM apps again. In case you didn't know, Trillian if a popular IM client that will connect to multiple IM accounts (yahoo, aol, msn, icq, etc). I hope google does it right!

This is cool. My boss Ed would be all over this. He is super into classic consoles. Currently he is all about the Atari 5200. I have to admit... it was kinda cool to play it. I never had one myself. I only had the 2600 from Atari. If you are too young to know the old school consoles then read this to be hip to the new trend in video games which is classic consoles and video games.

Logitech's G15 Gaming Keyboard

Logitech's G15 Gaming Keyboard--Review by ExtremeTech

Joe:
Read this review. I totally want one of these. It is the best gamming keyboard I have seen so far. There are others... and yes I have tried a few. Gonna try to see if the G15 is at Comp USA or Circuit City so I can take a gander at it. The backlite keys, 54+ macros, and the high resolution LCD screen that can be made to do stuff is what game me wood. I just know that the gamming community will take the included SDK for the LCD stuff and run with it. The article also states that it is about $75 to buy. Not bad considering that the Z-Board cost my friend $99 bucks to buy and it was ok at best.
