I expect there will be quite a lot of google talk dissection in this week, so here is my first observation to get me started.

the url that google talk likes to go to :

http://desktop.google.com/download/googletalk/google-talk-versioncheck.txt

And guess what is there?
Well, I got this :

Version: 1.0.0.64
URL: http://desktop.google.com/download/googletalk/googletalk-setup.exe
Launch-Action: execute
Launch-Target: googletalk-setup.exe
Launch-Parameter: /S upgrade
Description: Google Talk Update
Signature: 2d126a7c47a250a1a774311f79535cd2d905c9a04c2f67dbe7d577fc7ae245f33fb79e315fa617fc766212fe2866d92bf42781fdc038e6d5bc001fb131327cae5db4c315ccdc9d4c2985d47d3c779b14188a66d0486d2ee06bd1bf37f49d4499a8df30cd7b5ea8162cdbc99f02de91c778bc476d5dacb84c97ee4504d94da26fa087fcd7d0075a94897a61bb5af3a670fd5be4d27c8e945ca23054f56263024385ca40d2426152b41cd78fb88128fa31f954d0c19272fe82fd7bb63457a26d7c

Now I have 3 icons in the tray that are google's.

1. google talk


2. google web accelerator


3. google desktop 2

Only thing left in there that is not google's is :

1. antivirus


2. clock


3. volume control

I wonder how long will it take for google to create an antivirus...

PS: About google talk: Finally someone made a true Unicode IM. And its popular too. I guess that if your friends are getting their google talks, and they know your email -- expect lots of spa.. hrm . . Invitations.

First post

I'm here. Here is cool. So I'm here.

Now everything techie that I want to share with the world will be written down and cataloged and archived on some server somewhere. Just because I don't have enough long-time-memory on my laptop. The laptop can just 'disappear' in any of the common freak accidents. But the internet cant (or so I would love to believe). So here it goes. I write here, and maybe something funny enough will appear here for other people to read sometime. This is my techno-long-time-memory module. Enjoy.
