(Continued)     The RFS Newsletter, Sept. 3, 2005. Page 7
Microsoft last month had the California matter moved to federal court in San Jose, Calif. Kai-Fu Lee's Google has now asked that federal court judge to--as a matter of law--rule on Google's behalf without a trial. In court papers filed Friday, Google argued that "this motion for summary judgment is made on the grounds that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact" and that the noncompete clause of Microsoft's employment contract violates California law. In support of its case, Google argues that Lee is now a California resident, living in Palo Alto. Google said that Lee has obtained phone service in the state, registered to vote and obtained a driver's license. Lee has also "begun paying California state income taxes, including tax on a signing bonus from Google," the search giant said in court papers.

And to end the week, Google Talk is a free instant-messaging (IM) application that lets you make PC-to-PC calls. While Google doesn't exactly break new ground here, I'd still recommend it. If you haven't been paying attention, Google has become much more than the search-engine company of choice. Google's free downloadable Picasa software is arguably the best Windows program for organizing digital photos. Another freebie program, Google Earth, is a nifty three-dimensional model of the entire planet.
