So our free phone calls just cost us bajillions of ads now. :P
Notice they're paying in half with stocks, sneaky corps eh?
Anywho as MyndFyre says look out for the ads!
Eh, someone will release a crack. They have them for nearly everything else (i.e. AIM's ads, ICQ, xfire, etc).
Never really cared for Skype anyways, and I thought you had to pay to call a real house phone/cell?
No VoIP is a free (totally internet based?) phone calling service (last time I used it).

Not totally internet based, you can call home phones for a fee.

That's not true VoIP, though. That's VoIP connecting to the telephone infrastructure.
Just keep your old version ;)

That would mean Google owned PayPal. That's what I want -- people tracking where I'm sending money. Correction, *more* people tracking where I send money. I could just see my next gmail ads coming out of just having subscribed to Red vs Blue.
Fuck...I forgot to do that (and consequently spent all my money)!

I've only heard one negative opinion of Google in... since I can remember. It was something along the lines of the search results getting so watered down with people who pay to have their results higher up in the list that they're often invalid. Well... I have never had a problem with finding what I want on Google (unless I was to blame for searching on some obscure topic), so I'm not going to even slightly agree with that opinion, though it does seem somewhat logical.
Two dollars says they auction it off! =p

All the ads people pay Google to show are either in a blue box at the top of the results, or in a separate list to the right. Either way, both are clearly marked with "sponsored link". It's engines like Yahoo, which merges sponsored and crawled links into one single list, that should die and explode.
