As I logged on my gmail account today I was happy to see the new Call Phone feature, which Google hopes to roll out to more countries soon, will US users to make calls to phones around the world from their computers.
Calls to the US and Canada will be free for at least the rest of the year and calls to other countries will be billed at our very low rates according to Google. “We worked hard to make these rates really cheap with calls to the UK, France, Germany, China, Japan – and many more countries – for as little as 2 cents per minute.”
Calling to India is just 0.06 cents/ minute! Watch Out Skype!

I am living with Mac for over 7 years, but I do need windows too! especially when I am working on a multiplatform product. I have kept an additional desktop that runs on windows 7 but at times I need it on my laptop as well.
If you have grabbed yourself windows 7 copy, you are good to begin.
First step is to Upgrade Boot Camp3.1. So if you haven’t already do a Software Update, which will grab the latest version for you. Older Boot Camp versions didn’t support Windows 7, the Mac owners who decided to install it along with Snow Leopard. There were complaints of slow startup times, magic mouse malfunctions etc.. But with upgraded BootCamp 3.1 you have all you need to support Windows 7.
