			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This information is outdated and should not be used, since there is a <a href="http://www.google.com/talk/">version of Google Talk Plugin </a> working wonderfully on Linux.</strong></p>
<p>The Gmail Team at Google <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/say-hello-to-gmail-voice-and-video-chat.html">recently released Voice and Video chat for Gmail</a>, available via a browser plugin. Unfortunately the plugin is only available for Mac and Windows systems.</p>
<p>Digging a little, I found that is possible to use this functionality also on Linux, in my case Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. As far as I tested, this method offers only audio (voice) functionality, because of some <a href="http://www.winehq.org">Wine</a> limitations.</p>
<p>For this to work, you&#8217;ll need the browser plugin to be installed on Windows.</p>
<p>What you have to do is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install the <a href="http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb">latest version of Wine</a>.</li>
<li>Download <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html">Firefox 3 for Windows </a>and install it under Wine. <em>LE: also install Adobe Flash Player</em></li>
<li>Modify <a href="http://eftimie.ro/store/gmail.reg">this file</a>, replace <em>alex</em> with your username.</li>
<li>Using wine&#8217;s Registry Editor (~/.wine/drive_c/windows/regedit.exe) import gmail.reg.</li>
<li>Copy from a windows installation the next files from <em>Documents and Settings</em> (preserving directories structure) into <strong>~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/alex/</strong> (replacing <em>alex</em> with your username):</li>
</ol>
<blockquote><p>/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Google Talk Plugin/googleadapter.dll<br />
/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Google Talk Plugin/googletalkax.dll<br />
/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Google Talk Plugin/googletalkplugin.dll<br />
/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Google Talk Plugin/googletalkplugin.exe<br />
/Application Data/Mozilla/plugins/npgoogletalk.dll</p></blockquote>
<p>Open Firefox from <em>Applications-&gt;Wine-&gt;Programs-&gt;Mozilla Firefox</em> and check if the Google Talk Plugin NPAPI appears installed (<em>Tools-&gt;Addons-&gt;Plugins</em>).</p>
<p>If everything went right, you may now happily use the voice capabilities of the new Gmail Videochat feature, on your Ubuntu Linux Installation!</p>
<p><em><strong>LATER EDIT:</strong> Because of the popularity of this post (+1000 views), I also made a small script doing all of this for you, you can <a href="http://eftimie.ro/store/gmailvoice.bash">download it from here</a> and use it at your own risk.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>În ultimul timp, Google se ține de lansări mai mult sau mai puțin așteptate. După ce a spart gura târgului cu al său Browser, <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome">Google Chrome</a> a mai lansat și un <a href="http://picasa.google.com/">beta de Picasa</a> și a făcut <a href="http://picasa.google.com/intl/en_us/web/whatsnew.html">modificări majore</a> la <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/">Picasa Web</a> (pentru necunoscători, este din ce în ce mai mult Flickr-ul lui Google).</p>
<p>Printre altele, funcția de recunoaștere a feței, este genială. Cel puțin la mine, după ce a parcurs albumele, a fost în stare să grupeze fețele aceleași persoane (indiferent de poziția capului, expresia feței, lungimea părului și așa mai departe).</p>
<p>Sunt uimit.</p>
