    I could see having a 10" secondary LCD panel dedicated to this. That said, I registered for whenever they open the testing beyond developers (I think).

    Convenience, my friend.

    See, I could open a tab for every gawker blog I read - or I could use the hybrid function.

    I for one am looking forward to Wave. The presentation at I/O got me excited.

    @iEro-Sennin: When I first heard about it, I thought "yet another useless attempt by google to take over some niche market with some clever-but-unnecessary features in a half-baked product." Then I saw the IO demo. Now I just can't wait to start using it.

    Because the MLB wants you to pay for any content-rich features. People will pay, too.

    Just not me.

    @matt buchanan: It probably cost more in time to get the programmers the dev kit, have them port over as much as they could and kick it out asap.



    The Pre is to the MacOS in 1998 as the iPhone is to Windows in 1998.



    Or, at least, it very well could be. Apps coming out later, for more money. Shit, developers must be pissed having to know how to create apps for all the different devices these days.



    Or it's the MLB being as full of shit as they always are when it comes to their content.

    So if the online suite is free, why would people buy the software to install on their computers? With options like google docs and openoffice there's really no reason to use Office anymore. I do still use it however just because it came preinstalled.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: I wouldn't be surprised if they're online tools were at least slightly nerfed...a la google docs....and as for openoffice...while technically it is similarly powerful, until the UI is updated to look flashier as well, many mainstream people will judge that book by its cover and believe it to be a weaker alternative.

    @piratelax40: Absolutely. They need to do something to keep the revenue stream going. However, the big money comes in from corporate licensing; which aren't likely to use a service like this.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: There's still a big difference between the immediacy and flexibility of Office vs. Google Apps. Desktop computing feels crisp compared to the gooeyness of the cloud. Sure, you can get work done, and improvements in bandwidth will level the playing field, but if I need to jot down a quick thought or ruminate about medieval cheese making for 300 pages, I'll always reach for the desktop. Word on the desktop is transparent and sturdy. Google docs gives me flashbacks of crab fishing in the Bering Sea.

    Ha, I love how they make it sound so great.


    Anybody actually ever eat at one of these on campus cafeterias?


    You're better off dumping a two day old big mac in an intestinal lubricant and shoving it in yours face.


    But hey, they sure make it sound nice.

    I wish companies would just have food courts similar to malls, rather than hiring staff to try and cook elegant/smart food for employees. I'll take a Wendy's #2 (w/extra artery clogging sauce) over the crappola my company puts out any day. Aaaaand, now I'm hungry.

    @AmericanMouth: You clearly have never eaten at Caffe Macs or you could never have arrived at this seemingly-obvious yet absolutely-faulty opinion. Not meaning this as a put down to you, but some company cafeterias are actually quite, quite good. Caffe Macs is just such an example.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Wait. I'm not sure I get it...because it's a cafeteria where food is cooked and prepared, they might have raw fruit? Is that what's funny? Or is it humorous because you are referencing poor old Apple Annie, and it's funny that an impoverished street vendor might need to work in the cafeteria, is that It?


    Well, whatever. Personally, I find peaches to be a much more humorous fruit, but to each his own.
