As was rumored, Facebook will be launching an instant-messaging service, called Facebook Chat, which should be out in two weeks.

It sounds like Facebook Chat is too light of an application to pose a big threat to existing instant-messaging clients–at least for now. There’s no limit to the number of chats a member can hold at a time, but they’re all one-on-one (no group chats). There’s also no “away message” function, just “idle” notifications if a member is logged in but has been away from the keyboard.

wouldya look at this thing? It is apparently ASUS first gaming desktop but I think it also functions as a decapitated robot head.
