Google released a new version of their chat client Google Talk titled Google Talk Labs Edition. If you want to take it for a test ride you can download it here.
But before you download. Here are my opinions about it after I installed it today.
The looks of the client are somewhat different from it’s predecessors and are pretty much fresh.
The downside is that you cannot send or recieve files using this new GTalk messenger.
A detailed update soon. Keep coming back.

SAGA is a persistent world RTS in an epic fantasy setting.

SAGA’s features include massive armies, multiplayer questing, guild wars, espionage, and an auction house for trading troops and spells.
SAGA has no subscription fees. Players pay as little or as much as they decide, by purchasing ‘booster packs’ of random troops and spells, which are traded and customized to create the strategic army of choice for each player.
