Facebook, the Harvard-born online networking giant, unveiled a new chat feature Sunday that rivals Google’s popular Gmail chat program. Harvard students said they were ambivalent about the launch, which Facebook engineer Josh Wiseman called on the official Facebook blog “a new way to communicate with your friends in real-time.” A new chat bar appears at the bottom of the user’s browser when signed into Facebook, showing the online status of the user and other friends signed on the networking site. Availability is indicated by a green...
This is a deal about brute scale, about huge numbers. For example, if you squish Hotmail (Microsoft's e-mail service) and Yahoo!

Gmail is obviously very attractive, but it’s not the only thing out there,” said Noah S. Selsby, a client technology advisor for FAS IT. The popular Gmail service—offering a range of features including fast searching, integrated instant messaging...
...reaches 10,000 feet, three WiFi access points hidden in the cabin's ceiling are activated, so that most wireless devices with Flash browsers or Wi-Fi-enabled laptops can connect to Yahoo Messenger or Mail, which can also be used to send text messages to mobile phones. (Sorry, Gmail and other e-mail services won't work.) BlackBerry handsets will also work just as they do on land. The radios onboard the plane monitor the 100 cell towers around the U.S., looking for the one with the strongest signal. As the plane flies, it leaves one cell tower...
