Google Hangouts for iOS, Lego Ninja and Bakeneko

Ir’s Saturday and everyone are too lazy to write a word or two about Tech. Despite the fact that Google updated Hangouts for iOS with Google Voice support is a worthy news.

What’s New in Version 1.3.0

  • See which of your friends is using Hangouts, and who can be reached right now
  • Call phone numbers from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (free to the US and Canada)
  • Make and receive calls using your Google Voice number
  • Send and receive animated GIFs that play inline
  • Hangouts will temporarily turn down your music (instead of stopping it) when you receive an incoming message

At this time, I am still unable to receive calls on my Google Voice number using Hangouts.

Here’s a Lego Ninja and his Bakeneko.

I do not really have the need for Java if not for Adobe Creative Suite.
