I suppose you have already heard of the beta version of Google Talk launched last week. It is in fact quite flexible to get customized with its interface. I have create a blue theme for it, if you like it, feel free to download it. :)

The following are some simple steps to change the original grey theme.

• Download my Google Talk Blue Theme now here. (I have zipped it)
  Downloaded times
• Open your windows explorer, look for C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk folder.
• Rename your original googletalk.exe to something else (e.g. bryantalks.exe), just in case my file doesn’t work, you can still rename back to the original name.
• Put my googletalk.exe into the folder.
• Double click and run it.

Hope you like it. :)

By the way, if you would like to format the text as shown in the above picture, you can do the following :-

• Put _ in between your words to italic it.
  _SapiensBryan_ will become SapiensBryan
• Put * in between your words to bold it.
  *SapiensBryan* will become SapiensBryan

Enjoy using Google Talk, everyone. :)

Microsoft is planning to release an anti-phishing filter for Internet Explorer 6.0 (IE6) (the version we are using in WinXP). This new feature will further enhance the web browser and make it a more secure one. Microsoft Phishing Filter is suppose to be integrated to the forthcoming IE7, which will be due next year, but now it will be released ahead of originally planned schedule.

Quoted:
The Microsoft Phishing Filter will not only help provide consumers with a dynamic system of warning and protection against potential phishing attacks, but — more important — it will also benefit legitimate ISPs and Web commerce site developers that want to try to ensure that their brands are not being “spoofed” to propagate scams and that their legitimate outreach to customers is not confusing or misinterpreted by filtering software.

Ok guys, here is another Instant Messenger (IM) launched in the past 2 weeks. First, we saw Yahoo IM 7.0 2 weeks ago, then the launch of MSN Messenger 7.5 in the previous post, now Google Talk Beta !!

Since the launch of Google Gmail, I started hoping Google release it own IM like Yahoo and MSN do, with email notification. So, right after I heard about Google Talk is finally launched, immediately I downloaded and installed it. But then I found that I have too many IM in my PC, since when I on my PC for the sake of chatting? :p

Anyway, Google Talk does not have too many features to play with. The major features are instant messaging, making voice call, sending email and email notification. Don’t worry if you already have Google Official Gmail Notifier installed, the installation process will help you to uninstall it. There is NO smiley or emoticon and the interface is plain and simple, I think this is due to it’s only in Beta testing phase.

Let’s get started with Google Talk now. :)

Just 2 weeks ago, Yahoo launched their latest Instant Messenger (IM), Yahoo IM 7.0. Today, Microsoft released its new MSN Messenger, MSN Messenger 7.5, to stay in competition.

I’ve just downloaded and installed it, nothing much different except with some slight enhancement. Among the new features, I saw the Voice Clip, which allows us to send voice clip right through MSN. Of course, you’ll need a microphone to record your voice, and the recipient will need to have either speaker or headphone to listen to it. Sending voice clip is totally FREE.
