looks like they replaced the standalone application with the integrated support in chrome, and defaulted/hosed-up the behavior of all other browsers to direct you to download chrome instead of installing the browser-specific hangouts plugin.

sloppy testing before going live with the pages, or sleezy action they are sprinting back from after seeing people start to freak out about it? with google you can't tell!

'Practical' Google exec caught in fatal sex web

SAN FRANCISCO — The Santa Cruz police detective put it simply Friday, in announcing the arrest of a call girl accused of killing a Google executive on his yacht last fall with an overdose of heroin.

"It's an amazing case," said deputy police chief Steve Clark.

Beyond the surreal circumstances, what's perhaps most amazing is how extremely successful high-tech exec Forrest Timothy Hayes, 51, wound up tangled in the orbit of exotic dancer-turned-prostitute Alix Tichelman, a woman with a thing for the fictitious TV serial killer Dexter and who liked to write poems about drugs.
