Posted by Derision in the forum:

Just in time for the holidays, AOL and Google announce THIS
What interests us in this is the following goal of their new unholy alliance:

Enabling Google Talk and AIM instant messaging users to communicate with each other, provided certain conditions are met

Hrrrm. Thoughts, anyone? And what does this mean for ICQ, which has been strangely quiet lately?

GMail scans for viruses!

Since a while now, GMail scans for viruses!

Let me qoute them a bit:

How does anti-virus scanning work?
Each time you send and receive attachments, Gmail automatically scans them for viruses.

If a virus is found in an attachment you’ve received, our system will attempt to remove it, or clean the file, so you can still access the information it contains. If the virus can’t be removed from the file, you won’t be able to download it.

If a virus is found in an attachment you’re trying to send, you won’t be able to send the message until you remove the attachment.

Rumor: Google to buy Opera, according to Yahoo Europe president

Rumor: Google to buy Opera, according to Yahoo Europe president
Pierre Chappaz, the former president of Yahoo Europe, claims to have a source, whom he says is generally very well informed, who told him that Google is planning on buying the Opera web browser.
I must say that I find this very hard to believe; after all, Google recently hired some Mozilla/Firefox people, in addition to being an active supporter of the open source browser.
If this in fact were true, it wouldn’t be the first time that Opera has been approached by a major company for a buyout. Back in 1996 Sun Microsystems made an offer to buy Opera for about £9 million ($16.8 million US). A while back an Opera spokeswoman told me that they have been approached by major companies in the past but Opera’s CEO, Jon von Tetzchner, has always declined the offers, no matter the dollar size.
An Opera official outright denied this claim, after I asked about it, saying “Rumors come and go. Google is not buying Opera.”
Perhaps there is a bit of truth to this, maybe Google is collaborating with Opera on some project that we don’t know about yet. Who knows?

Everest Home is no more!


I was in shock when I noticed that after the close of the best PC information tool AIDA32, now its successor Everst Home closes (Everest Home was basicly the same as AIDA32, just new name and diffrent company).

Of course, the download sources for the latest final (2.20) and the latest beta (more recent than the latest final!) all got removed from the homepages I found, except some Chinese ones. So if you want the latest Everest Home Beta (2.20.475 Beta) download it from here. Despite the fact that usually all homepages and downloads from China are very slow the above linked one is the very exceptoin and should load a lot faster than 0.3-1 kb/s! 🙂

Since new hardware won’t be supported by Everest Home with the time passing by of course, seems we have to return to use the freeware version of Sandra which is not bad but not as good as AIDA32 and Everest Home ever were! 🙁

It’s a sad time now!

The ICQ Lies Collection

I recently found out that the The ICQ Lies Collection got updated earlier this year, so do not miss it! It’s the best and most complete collection of all ICQ spam people ever received in the history of ICQ! 🙂

I personally enjoy reading it very much and certainly look forward to its next update! 🙂
