Try as he may, Google’s co-founder has a difficult time trying to blend in with other folks who ride on New York City subways. His attire was inconspicuous.

Chatting online has long advanced from simple text to voice and video chatting; even MSN will soon bid us a farewell as its presence has become outdated due to VOIP tools such as Skype. We not only like to easily connect with friends and family near and far via our computers and tablets but want them to hear us loud and clear.
