...And what's wrong with Firefox adopting WebKit as its engine? They could retain their current interface or even make version 4.x mock-ups a reality. Again, what's wrong with that?
I am wondering whether it was at Steve Jobs' sole discretion to reject the app. If it is indeed the case, he must be a busy man these days looking at every app because I understand the iPhone has 200,000 apps. Right?
I knew those options were available but what I missed was to ask Google to automatically sort those found messages for me. This way, my memory can be triggered in case I have 900 results as I said.
Sometimes you know something exists but cannot remember until you see something else. This is what I was talking about. It happened to me recently. My search term was "details" and Gmail returned 311 messages. I also knew that the attachment this message had was in 'tiff' format.
With my suggested approach, a message with a 'tiff' format attachment would have been displayed...already sorted for me to see. The current approach is still wanting, inadequate and can be made better. Yahoo does this FYI.
While I congratulate Google on this achievement, I wonder when they will spruce up their GMail user interface and functionality. It sucks big time in my opinion. Here are what disturb me a lot.
1: Interface: It's beginning to show age.
2: 100% focusing on search as currently implemented leaves out a lot. For example I searched for a term like "deadline", I could end up having 900 emails with that word. This is good but even better would be if GMail could further categorize these results for me by: -
(a) date/date range, emails were sent/recieved (b) who sent them, (c) which labels have them, (d) which ones of these have attachments and further which attachment types...I could go on and
on.
I have a feeling that Google is just a "spoiler". You might wonder why. Could some one remind me what Google has done with EtherPad or On2 Technologies? This is not to say they haven't done anything useful with other acquisitions but the two named above are too important to ignore.
Google, open-source the stuff acquired from On2 Technologies. How can that be bad?
How much competition is up there? More competition would not hurt [the consumer]. Trouble is consumers do not know that things could be better for them.
No wonder places like Malawi or Uganda, that are thousands of miles away and much poorer, receive gadgets like the iPad, iPhone and Droids much earlier than Canada which shares the border with the mighty USA.
Canada has always fascinated me. If Americans were to close his/her eyes then open them when in Canada, they would not notice that much of a difference. Exceptions would be in the currency and the way they spell some of their words like "neighbour".
But on a serious note, none of the big tech companies in the USA launch their products across the border.
Heck, setting up an online store to charge Canadians the full price of say the HTC Incredible would not hurt the vendor. All costs/risks etc could be met by the purchaser...but big store companies will not even take orders from Canadians!
Why? You would wonder...why? Can a Slashdotter explain? Is it Canada's fault that the situation is this way?
1: Better aesthetics. I mean, the current theme and all available ones are not that appealing to
the eyes.
2: Print Preview: Heck how can a today's desktop application fail to have this important
resource? An application from Google should have "everything" necessary to be productive,
and print preview is one of those things I believe.
3: The over minimalistic paradigm Google has followed has gone too far. Heck, what ends up
happening is that extensions have no where to live at the bottom of the browser, crowding uup
space elsewhere.
If these are implemented, it will surely not hurt...or will it? I stand to be corrected.
...,some people will believe it. Just like those who perpetuate these lies, one political party in America used this tactic with the hope that it would stick. But unfortunately, time ran out!
.There's a choice quote at the end: 'Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently said internet users shouldn't worry about privacy unless they have something to hide.'
OK, let me take the learned man's position and agree that I have something to hide...so I should worry. Is it a crime to have something to hide? I thought not.
Now what? Yes, I have something to hide so I am worried about my privacy....so just go away Google. Just go away. Will you just leave me and my "stuff" alone please.
...of the tests because the conditions these tests will have to deal with vary from amount of dust, to concentration,composition (chemically) and type of equipment to be used.
To make matters even more interesting, the impact of this dust on an aircraft engine also depends on what the load is on the particular engine, not to mention type and condition.
To me, I see the results as those that will be of no consequence.
...and guess what! I'm almost sure I have had enough of free software.
Not to say that it odes not do its work but because there is no incentive "not to break stuff", read 'continued revenue streams', folks just do as they please and we get hurt.
...Sources close to Adobe tell me that Adobe will be suing Apple within a few weeks...
Any law suite will take years to resolve.
Want a hint? Look at SCO vs Novell/IBM over Linux and the so called patents. This suite has taken at least 6 years. Adobe's suite will face the same fate and by the time it's over, results will be irrelevant to the situation at that material moment. The "world" will have moved on. While I think Adobe should not sit idle, I think a law suite is a shot in the dark.
In their own words: '[W]e're including a new signal in our search ranking algorithms: site speed. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests.... our users place a lot of value in speed -- that's why we've decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings.
Search speed is almost 100% subjective. Heck...are the tools Google is using to evaluate speed openly known to all that matter in this?
I contributed several comments to Groklaw but those comments I lifted from a number of Slashdotters. How do I handle that? I just want to do the right thing.
That video is disturbing. I just did not have the stomach to watch it all.
The trouble too is that we "preach" democracy but when a democratic process puts those we "hate" in power, we (read the US government), then treat the democratically elected administration as parties not to be dealt with in any way. Hamas anyone?
It took me time to realize this is "April Fool's Day." Dear editor, please warn members because it's quite frustrating to realise much later on that it's April Fool's day. Now I do not know which story to believe.

Shame on you Apple and all your fanbois.
...where is Print Preview?
....till I can send an email right from the wave interface. Why is this still impossible? Google, wake up!

"...Steve Jobs still rejected its proposal..."
I am wondering whether it was at Steve Jobs' sole discretion to reject the app. If it is indeed the case, he must be a busy man these days looking at every app because I understand the iPhone has 200,000 apps. Right?
I guess I did...so in that case I will wait for the "real thing"...that is Chromium from Google.

Yahoo has this functionality so Google should.

I predict trouble ahead.
Can someone tell me why I would want a multitasking phone yet this study says it adversely affects brain learning?
Anaerobic respiration does precisely that and has been doing so for generations.

Who can disagree? And by the way, I understand IBM's position. Sometimes, you just have to take a stand.
Linux is almost everywhere now and it will surely continue to improve. Stemming its tide now just seems logical.
Guess what! Microsoft must be screaming of happiness as I write this.

No sir/madam!
By just looking at what you have written, I can conclude that it will not sort! Or will it?
