When I plugged in my Magicjack this evening a pop up officially announced Magictalk service is in beta. For those who have not heard, Magictalk allows users to make free calls using VOIP. The company plans on making money by billing the phone company on the receiving end of the call, which I expect will cause some companies to block the service. If you want to try it out, just head to http://magictalk.com/. The software works with either PC or Mac (as usual Linux users are left out in the cold.)

Awesome! Now I finally have someone to sue when I get skin cancer.

From the site "An underwire bra stopped a Miami attorney from seeing her client held at the Miami Federal Detention Center, setting off controversy over the inmate facility's dress code. Attorney Brittney Horstman was not packing heat. She was wearing an underwire bra. And when the metal detector went off on a visit to the Miami Federal Detention Center, security guards wouldn't let Horstman in to see her client. The attorney reminded guards of a detention center ``memo'' allowing female attorneys wearing an underwire bra to enter. But the guards would not relent. Horstman stepped into a bathroom and removed her bra. In blouse and jacket, she returned, and cleared the walk-through detector.Again, guards refused to let her pass — now, because she was braless, which is against prison dress code guidelines." Your tax dollars at work!

I have a desktop computer that I built about a year ago. It isn't a top-shelf system by any means but it isn't a bad system either. It runs Ubuntu linux. I want to ask the slashdotters what do you think I should do with it? I was thinking perhaps hooking it up to my LCD TV and using it as some type of media center for watching hulu and youtube. Mabey I could VNC into it from the laptop to control it. Any good ideas?
