Google have just launched a beta version of hosted Email/Calendar and Google Talk but under your own domain.
Though only beta it could offer a real challenge to Microsoft as companies can completely dump problematic applications (like Exchange) and use Google instead.
It's currently free and anyone accepted on the beta, it looks to remain free too.

Ebay choose Google for advertising
Google's press release has some details.
Advertising on Ebay isn't unexpected, though sellers may have concern that adverts will appear offering competing goods. What's odd is the "click to talk" announcement where buyers can talk to sellers - but using Skype OR GoogleTalk.
Ebay paid a lot of money for Skype (they own it) so promoting a competing (beta) service would seem strange.
Maybe it's all to stop Microsoft getting a foothold.

Windows Live WiFi Center
This is being made available to a select number of Office 2007 beta testers. It allows users to find WiFi hotspots as well as find out what's actively around them. Users can then select "free" or paid for services and mark them as favourites.
It will then ease the set-up of virtual private networks (VPN) to ensure the connection is secure.
It's all part of Microsoft's Windows Live services.

Bryce 5 for free
Daz is offering free downloads of the 3D World software Bryce version 5.

Bryce can produce see, land, tree, skys and even planets and even beginners can produce amazing results.
It's a big download, but it will keep the kids amused. NOTE rendering can take a very long time and is extremely CPU intensive.

Gillette Fusion
5 blades, well 6 really as there's one on the back for trimming.
It feels like a razor should and actually seems to work pretty well. It looks pretty funky too.
The 5 blades do seem to make the razor glide over your face and give a very smooth shave.
Better than the Mach 3.
