Cnet is reporting that embattled VOIP provider Vonage may be pondering bankruptcy.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Tuesday, the Internet phone service provider said the ongoing legal battles over patent disputes could eventually lead to liquidation of the company’s assets under bankruptcy protection.
Sigh. Do you know of any other good VOIP providers? No. Verizon isn’t an option.

Sam Sethi over at Vecosys wrote a very interesting post today about some of his frustrations with Google products.
Lately I have been pondering whether to unsubscribe from Google’s products myself. Last year I wrote about why I was switching over to Google from Microsoft and now 6 months later it seems I am heading back to [some of] Microsoft’s products……..
……Maybe if Google’s engineers stopped wasting their 20% time on projects like Google Transit, Mars, Ride Finder etc. and focused on making their products more feature rich and functional then it would help all of us.
I agree. Cheese on the Moon isn’t very useful.
I’m sure by now you all have heard that Apple is pushing off the release of its next update of its Mac OS X software until fall. Heh. Microsoft isn’t the only one that delays its products. 
Russell Shaw wonders if Apple is freaking out because the iPhone isn’t anywhere near to being ready. That’s an interesting thought. Maybe the iPhone isn’t so perfect after all?
Things are looking too good for Vonage. Engadget is reporting that Vonage is admitting there isn’t much possibility of a workaround to avoid Verizon’s Patents. 
I’m hoping I will still have my phone line when I get back. ;)
How comes I can’t put my Kirbtech logo along with my phone number on our wedding napkins?
I love my Vonage phone line, but I’m just hoping I can continue to keep it. Bug off, Verizon.
