How cool would it be if Google Maps were able to produce driving directions suitable for cyclists! It would use only safe streets, streets with bike lanes or bike trails, when possible. The directions would also include elevation information, so that cyclists could avoid hard hills, etc. This would be a fantastic tool and would most definitely encourage more people to choose bikes over cars for their daily commute.
It amazes me to no end that such a simple and fundamental problem as calendaring could not be solved after decades of advances in our field. We put a man on the Moon, for god's sake! Why can't we make Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar and Apple iCal work together well?
I just noticed, that for the first time in months my Spam folder has more than two thousand messages in it. That's how much junk I receive in any given month (it is automatically being deleted after 30 days). And best of all, in all these months that I had my email hosted at Google, I never had a single good email marked as spam! Not too bad, what do you think?
Google is about to introduce Spreadsheets: Google Spreadsheets - Sneak Peek.
That's all great, guys, and I hear people even go as far as to say that combined with Writely it renders MS Office obsolete. But personally I am not so optimistic. How do you work/access your documents in the offline mode which happens oh so often at the times when you need those documents the most? We need some kind of hybrid to really solve the problem. And I wonder who is going to be the first to implement a sensible solution combining the best of both worlds. Microsoft?
I was trying to create a filter that would automatically tag the messages received from the excellent GotVoice (it retrieves your voice mail and forwards it to your email address) when Google told me that "The label name "Voicemail" is invalid". Well, well, well!
