Google Talk + Messed up PC

Well, I’ve been a good user of Google Talk since it feels pretty lightweight and was faster in speed and quality last time compared to Skype 1.4. These two days using Google Talk over the sea, I’ve experienced really bad latency issues along with the corrupted voice quality. I’m just sick of it.
Then I tried on Skype 2.0, much better speed and quality even though it does hog up a huge amount of resources.
So to sum this up, I think Google Talk along with the whatever Gmail Chat they have is complete useless junk. I’m starting to feel the same other users feel when Google Talk came out. They need to update this and get all those done project out of damn beta.

Also, for these two days, my PC would not boot into Windows until I restart and try like 5 times. What’s even more is that my DVD drive died out today. I can’t open it manually nor by pressing the eject button. It makes really bad noises when booting up the PC. It sounds like the parts inside are breaking down. Sounds really horrible.

Meh.. More troubles
