I was talking to Will when the subject of Google Talk came up. I haven’t downloaded it yet, and I feel completely no inclination to download it because I already have Skype. Google isn’t really doing anything new or fresh with their Google Talk. It’s exactly like Skype from what I read, other than the integration with Gmail accounts, and the ability to connect with other clients (like Gaim, though you will have to forgo the voice call function).

For comparison’s sake:

Google Talk:

Skype:

I guess I’m biased. I love the speed of sending files through Skype. :P But Google, considering how they are always hiring the top programmers (or so they say?), should come up with something creative instead of the same old things everyone has done before.

Whoa… wtf! It went from the normal 1.41GB in April to 10.80GB last month! >_<!

My first exposure to English was through this series, Peter and Jane. Goes like the usual, “Peter has a dog named Pet.” Or the ultra-boring repetition, “Peter likes to play. Jane likes to play. Pet likes to play.” So boring that I only read it when Mom was looking, and when she isn’t, I steal my elder brothers’ books to read. I don’t get it though. Once you already know how to read and understand complete sentences made of more than ten words, why the heck was Mom will insistent on making me read sentences made of three almost-monosyllabic words?!

I think on some other parts of the world, it’s Dick and Jane. Or something like that. But whatever. All that to learn English.

Know what we missed?

Happy birthday, Lele.
