News time: Happenings of the day

Hello Everyone, today instead of posting individual blog posts on different topics, I will quickly link to the interesting news I found on the Internet. Follow the links to find out more. 1. Google acquires @Last Software. @Last has created a software called Sketchup which is a 3D program as I understand. One more company under Google's belt which might mean more feature rich products will be available soon. 2. Get secure VoIP phone with Zfone. 3. A nice IPOD box parody from Microsoft. It's a nice ad, I sure did enjoy it. 4. More Google news, Volkswagon and Google develop a fantastic navigational system. 6. A 15 year old plays prank with Google News System (this is funny and interesting to me) 7. 18th Commonwealth Games begin in Melbourne, Australia.I just watched the opening ceremony and I can say that a lot, means a lot went into organising the opening event. It was great.
