Google Voice in Gmail, Receiving calls.

I spend most of my time out of my office, working on various projects. It would be nice to have the ability to receive calls on my computer using Google Voice. Google now makes it possible.

To enable receiving Google Voice calls in Gmail, check the box next to Google Chat in the list of forwarding phones.

Now I can be somewhere else to receive calls without having it to ring the office phone. I could forward it to my mobile phone, but sometimes the signals are non-existent. Care to guess which mobile network I’m with?

Google Voice in Gmail, Oh Yeah!

Google has just made Google Voice even sweeter on Wednesday August 25th, 2010. Now Google Voice users can receive and make calls from Gmail. Providing the microphone and speakers are available. Notebook users should have little problems with the requirements.

You need to install “Video and voice plug-in” to enable this feature with your browser. Video and voice plug-in requires Windows XP+ or Mac OS X 10.4+ or Linux.

Google is slowly rolling out this feature to Google Voice users in the United States. So be patient.

Head to Google Voice.

Apple Store is Down for some apparent reasons.

It is reported everywhere that Apple Store Online is down for updates. What would it be?

According to someone who don’t give a damn about this non-news, Apple will be introducing some kind of thing that a small portion of Mac users would buy regardless what the product is.

Actually this is an excuse to post the screenshot from Apple Store App on the iPhone 3GS.

Why iPhone 3GS? No I do not have iPhone 4 yet, leave me alone! Steve Jobs promised me a white iPhone 4 and it’s not here yet. By the word “promise” I meant that Steve Jobs is not obligated to anything. I’m rocking Nexus One as my main phone right now. Thus the Airplane Mode.
