Google has some nifty new software out there.
http://talk.google.comthis is thier new IM program, what makes this different from the others? well it is still i beta stage, and it does not have all the bells and whistles as the other IM, but it has a really good VOICE program to basically call your online buddies and speak online - the quality of sound was pretty impressive. Again it is still a beta but I am sure they will add on soon.
htp://webaccellerator.google.com
basic web accellerator, it caches frequently visited sites and helps to load them faster, some of you might want this, other not, if you can't get it from the google site - they may say they have enough beta testers - you can look at softpedia and find the program.
also if you want to look up online video
http://video.google.comdownload the player, type in a search for whatever video you are looking for, SOME videos are playable, a lot are not, but you can come across some interesting uploaded video online. I typed in "dave chapelle" and found some playable skits from him, and "alien autopsy" - and the freaking prank video was online as well.
also something to be on the look for in the future - and these are all rumors at this point, but so was everything else google has done so far - google is apperantly in the works of creating an Operating System to compete with Windows - big goal IMO, it is going to be tough when most programs out there are designed to run on Windows, but who knows maybe it will be popular enough to get vendors to design on whatever Google creates. the code name for this project is "Puffin" not much news on it except for the fact that it ties into googles new search bar download.
Another rumor is Google is planning to unveil it's own web browser, and online music store, and is even sd to be buying up equipment to go Wi-Fi....interesting stuff.
