Google’s demoing the “Call from G mail” service for us in San Francisco this morning, and it’s looking like it’s not free, but fairly cheap a product manager just called Paris for $0.02 a minute. Incoming calls pop up as a chat window in G mail and ring your Google Voice-equipped phones simultaneously and you press a “Call phone” button that appears near the top of the Chat window to send an outbound call, at which point a dialer appears where you can copy and paste numbers or tap them in manually.

Google announced Wednesday that G mail users can make free long-distance calls in the U.S. and Canada through a cool new feature that lets you place calls from within G mail to a mobile or landlines phone.”Call phone” is a new option in G mail’s list of contacts to chat with, on the left side of the page.

Google’s only committed to free calls to US and Canadian landlines through the end of the year, as paid international calls are the sole revenue stream here “Our hope is we’ll be able to make enough margin on international calls to keep offering it at that low price,” a product manager told us. We’re going to give some VoIP goodness a spin right now, check back later for impressions.

Of COURSE there’s a topless pic floating around. Isn’t that becoming the natural course for reality TV personalities? Radar Online reports that an ex-boyfriend of the latest star of ‘Bachelorette,’ Ali Fedotowsky , is offering up a picture of Ali topless . For a price. “An ex-boyfriend of Ali is using a broker to shop the photograph,” a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “No deal has been made yet but the ex has a lot of other material from his time dating her.” Various media outlets, including RadarOnline.com, have been contacted about the photograph, which purportedly shows Ali topless, on her knees, with her hands on her breasts. Beer is being poured on her breasts by someone who is off camera. Only one hand of that person is visible. Goodness! To have someone you once trusted do this to you is disgusting . But in this day and age, this certainly isn’t a threat to a career in Hollywood. And we already knew Ali was a party girl. What do you think is worse: this alleged topless pic or the one where Ali is allegedly smoking from a bong ? Photos by FAME

Gotta live up to the name , right HP? NVIDIA’s new pro graphics solution for mobile creatives, the Quadro 5000M, was unsheathed only yesterday but HP appears to have been first in line to get some of that new 40nm goodness. Electronista reports that the world leader in PC shipments is readying a 5000M solution for its 8740w EliteBook, which will bring 320 CUDA cores and a jumbo 2GB of dedicated memory to the party. That comes replete with the latest DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 compatibility, naturally, as well as a bunch of pro-friendly computational enhancements. Dell’s also going to be offering a 5000M-equipped rig, but lest you get too excited, bear in mind that getting the current best Quadro-equipped 17-incher from HP costs north of $3,000, so affordability is clearly not a priority here. Skip past the break for NVIDIA’s joyous press release announcing the new Quadro chips.

Perhaps you’ve heard of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a.k.a. PBR. You likely know it as a cheap, crappy beer preferred by a cultural group referred to as “the hipster.” In China, hipster must translate to “wealthy businessman” because PBR there costs a cool $44. And hey, you can always wash down the pricey goodness with some PBR Water . (via Bite Daily ) Post from: Crushable The Daily WTF: $44 Pabst Blue Ribbon

WHAT? The Lohans cannot escape drama! Most of the time they’re the ones that are creating it! More details came out from last night’s story ! Kate Major is claiming that Michael Lohan called her a curse word, threatened to kill her and then kicked her in the face. Why you ask? Because she said she wanted to leave him. Did he really think THIS would make her change her mind about ending the relationship? My goodness. My fiance Michael Lohan came home while I was sleeping in a sofa chair. He woke me up, yelling, ‘Why didn’t you pick up your cell phone, you stupid c**t.’” Kate continues, “He then turned over the chair while I was still in it, tossing me to the floor. I crawled to the other side of the room to get away from him. He walked over to me, took his shoe off and kicked me in my face while I was still on the ground. He stood over me and said, ‘I’m going to go back to jail cause of you, cause I will kill you.’” Kate says, “He said all of this to me cause he is afraid I’m going to leave him. I am very afraid of him.” Do you believe her? This group is really into attention. The police were called and while Michael admits there was an argument he denies actually touching Kate.
