THE CONSUMER Electronics Show in Las Vegas is almost upon us, and we're all wondering what treats the Vole will have to wow everyone in the New Year.

One treat might well be Microsoft getting into the Voice over IP business big time, judging from a press release from One Voice.

The Yule season is a good time for companies to make important announcements, because most hacks think Christmas is an occasion to take several weeks off all at once.

According to One Voice, its Media Center Communicator is a "complete multimedia comms package" letting folk chat and do other stuff within North America.

How intriguing. Here. Oh yeah. And Microsoft is also demonstrating its "voice navigation" stuff. Here. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
