A Method For Encumbering Progress By Patenting Other People's Ideas

This article pretty much sums up my feelings on this patent trolling BS that is storming the tech industry right now. It's an excellent read with excellent points and hopefully, someone who can actually start the ball rolling on fixing this crap... will read it... and understand it.  And, if we're really gorramn lucky... do something about it.

Kudos to Omnifox for brining this to my attention.

New Splash Page

I've finally updated the root page for Subnova at http://www.subnova.com/

The nav bar will eventually have links to the respective services that Subnova provides to the general public.
For now, it simply links to this blog and the archived version of the v5 website.

I hope to get some additional time to work on more formalized pages for the Second Life services we provide in the near future.  No promises.

Google Telephony via Gmail

Its finally happened.  Within the next 5 days, you will be able to start making phone calls from Gmail.
Google has broken ground on what will likely turn into a proper telephony service via Google Voice and the upcoming Metasocial system codenamed Google Me.

This isn't Google's current virtual-switchboard.  This is a full fledged VoIP system that routes a voicechat via Google's voice/video plugins for Gmail to any phone number you call.  This system also ties into Google Voice, by allowing you to have your caller ID on outgoing calls to be your GV number.

You can read more about it at the official Google Blog Post.
