    Jesus Google, you're top 3 in Email... maybe you can give us fucking push now? The lowest one on the damn chart offers one of the most superior features that you continue to lack. #creditscores

    @Barclay Hygaard: Thanks for that link. I looked into it, but it requires you to enter it in as MS exchange, which I'm already using for my business email.

    Why can't they simply enable push for all users the way Yahoo does? #creditscores

    I use Yahoo and Hotmail just because they are web based and my credit score is higher than this chart even goes. Once again, I screw up the "norm". #creditscores

    @Curves: I fail to understand that logic since GMail is also web based. I've used GMail from the beginning, dumping my hotmail and yahoo accounts. They were just horrible email clients. #creditscores

    Whats the low end of a credit score? I don't know since I dont worry about mine being low (and I dont want to find out the low the hard way), but the commercials on TV say "650-850" but Yahoo's average is below 650... wtf. #creditscores

    @phunnyballs: It can go as low as 300, and as high as 900. But most scores are around the 600-700 range these days. If you pay your bills in full every time, have no debt, keep everything in order, you should easily have an 800 or more. #creditscores

    In reply to Gmail Integrates Handy Google Docs Previews
    As someone who uses Google docs religiously to keep track of collections, and expenses, I would kill for an iphone app that could handle them quickly, and incorporate copy-pasta, color editing, and row insertion/deletion.

    Slightly off-topic rant aside, this preview/integration looks cool for people who use it professionally. #googledocspreviews

    Next up, the interactive, smart shower door/ full motion camera/ LCD display.

    When the camera is turned on, the software analyzes what you've washed and for how long, determines who it is best suited for, based on your previously-entered criteria, and automatically fills in the email address for you.

    It even makes recommendations based on angle and obstruction- a feature called "Got the Wrong Hand?"

    "Nothing's worse than realizing you sent those pictures of you in the shower to Mom instead of Mona. Trust me"

    Well, don't take this the wrong way...

    But, your Mom won't be seeing anything she hasn't seen before.

    This is a real problem, so its probably a good thing to have a solution for. I mean, how many times can I luck out and be dating 2 guys named Bill at once.

    (That experience has seen to it that I am SUPER careful when I send mail now.)

    @Curves: I've got a real common name - in this case, we'll say "Bill Smith." My first name is really "William" but I go by "Bill," but my work email is still william.smith@domain ... so anyway, there happens to be another Bill Smith in my company, in another location, and he's pretty high up. Since I go by "Bill" and not "William," people see "Bill Smith" in the email directory and think it's me.

    If he gets any more fantasy football trade offers, I fear I may be fired.

    @Jux: Luckily both Bills had boats and I was able to distract Bills #2s attention from the Bill #1s email, meaning I got away with it ONCE. I wont push my luck again. (I no longer date either one anyway, but, I learned my lesson!)
