Sorry, but this app is no longer available.

We are big proponents of Google Apps for small to mid-size companies, and Google Voice could become an integral member of the Apps family. As with other services like this, we test it on ourselves first and then encourge our "early adopter" clients to try it before recommending it to average users. Google Voice has proven to be very useful, and reliable enough after a couple of months, even though Google still considers it a beta application. See our blog to read detailed comments about Google Voice.

But one thing we noticed is that people keep closing their Web browser, or navigating away from the Google Voice Web site. When that happens they miss messages, don't use Google Voice when they could for outgoing calls and text messages, and generally don't use it much. To help keep Google Voice open on the desktop we created this application. We used Adobe AIR so the same application could be used on Windows, Mac and Linux computers.






Why no longer avarabru?


Anyone know of a google voice application for windows?

Not offhand, but can't you just use Fluid to "make" one out of the Google Voice page? I haven't tried, but I'd assume all the functionality should be there.

Huh. I figured there was a Windows version too. Chrome has the functionality. Oh well.

Google no longer has the desktop search app as well. They are moving away from these sorts of programs because they kinda compete with their web services (I think this is why). Desktop apps keep people off the Internet.

Heh, it was a fake edit, then I went back and removed a redundant "too" in the main part of the post. :D

It keeps people off the 'World Wide Web' then, happy?

Dude, he programs routers or something. Layer 4 and up is a mystical land of magic that he doesn't have to care about.

I could have my layers backwards, as we don't really use that terminology. My understanding of layer 1 is the physical circuitry before it gets put into a plastic case.

There's an industry standard model (well, two, actually, but I don't think anybody important actually uses the 4-layer TCP/IP model) called the OSI model. It has 7 layers, going from 1 (physical) to 7 (application).

Layer 3, the network layer, of the OSI model is where all routing takes place, and is the layer at which hardware deals with IP packets. Layer 4, the transport layer, is the layer at which TCP (or UDP) functions, and is concerned with end-to-end connections are established and error-checked.

Although, if I remove my tongue from my cheek, I suppose that, IIRC, Lex programs something to do with DHCP, and thus is not dealing with layer 3 **** (exclusively, at least).

Sure it does. "The design of the internal components for my Macbook Air is somebody else's job."

It depends on which model you're using.

Kaffis beat me to the punch while I was editing, but to add some more specifics:

Per OSI, Layer 1 is the physical signaling layer only, while Layer 2 is the "data link" layer. So if you have an Ethernet-over-foo device, the logical Ethernet aspects are Layer 2, while the "foo" part of it is Layer 1.

By the TCP/IP model, Layer 1 is essentially Layer 1 + Layer 2 of the OSI model.

I don't know exactly what Lex does other than coding, so my assumption is that he probably isn't dealing with anything on OSI Layer 1 at all, and probably only deals with OSI Layer 2 with respect to some interactions with Layer 3 (network, i.e. IP/ICMP mainly). A modern stateful router with NAT support, etc. is going to have some interaction/awareness up to at least OSI Layer 5, and even all the way up to OSI Layer 7 in the case some troublesome protocols (ex. FTP through NATing/Firewalling router).

There's not really a clear boundary between hardware and software in either model. In practice, most network devices tend to implement OSI layer 1 and 2 mostly in hardware, while 3 and up will be mostly software. But there are weird exceptions like TCP checksum offloading -- a layer 5 task which is commonly hardware-assisted for performance reasons.

That's not a question within the internal workings of a single company. You've seen how we work. :P

I work on a glorified subscriber management system centered around DHCP and PPPoE, I don't think it's really a layer.

I am aware of networking layers as a conceptual model used by a branch of engineering that is tangentially related to my own, but that's really the extent of my familiarity.

PPPoE is a layer 2 function. DHCP is layer 7.

I have to use a power supply, because it's not really very easy to find an actual router's circuit diagram on a Google image search.

Looking for a circuit diagram of a router is like looking for a circuit diagram of an Xbox. Both are variants of computers, unlike a power supply.
