The Nightly Build:
* A while back we told you that Yahoo was planning to [integrate chat features in to the new Yahoo Mail][5]. Yahoo Mail is still in beta, but the rumored chat integration [kicks off today][6] for select users. The new feature alerts Yahoo Mail users if their contacts are logged on to Yahoo Messenger and gives them the option of starting a text chat session from within the mail interface. Even better, Yahoo Mail can grab email text and paste it into the chat window and vice versa. Which makes me think, there ought to be Thunderbird plugin for that....

* A commenter on today's [story about Vista DRM][3] pointed me to [this article][2] which says new plug-ins for Linux will bring LEGAL support of WMV, MPEG-2/4 files. As with anything that brings DRM content to a DRM-free platform, you have to wonder -- is that a good thing?

* There's been a Safari hack floating around for a while which claims that by reducing the "page load delay" in the preferences you can speed up the browser. Users have reported that the hack makes Safari considerably faster which Safari developer David Hyatt [finds amusing][4] since "the preference in question is dead and does absolutely nothing in Safari 1.3 and Safari 2.0."

* And finally, today's web zen: [Moonite Wack-a-mole][1]. Chowda!
