Really? Then... why is my Adium client still successfully using Google Chat?

THere's already a solution for that: XMPP

The reason we don't see it is that the people that _are_ capable of supporting the necessary services behind it (like... for people that don't run their own servers) is that it's difficult to monetize. AIM dropped open support because too many folk use Adium or Pidgin with it, rather than the AIM client, and thus AOL couldn't push ads down it.

Google chat uses XMPP essentially... so if you want a well supported platform, that's it right there.

That said. 1Password rocks.

Nobody. Cares. About. Market. Share.

So... these were the evolutionary ancestors of the Slaver race? (From Larry Niven's Known Space stories)

So... the article is inaccurate, as it's not "secret" at all, and it isn't even "installed" at all... just "ready to be installed".

Fine reporting!

Read the article. It answers your question.

Actually no... some of it purchased there... but the vast majority are rips from CDs and from Amazon as MP3s.

Sounds like you were sharing passwords across accounts. Risky.
