@Tim: the reason Google stopped supporting Google Gears is because they’re putting more focus and effort into Google Chrome’s HTML5 abilities, particularly more access to the OS via HTML5 file abilities. here’s another article discussing this very thing here:

You mentioned offline access…

Google used to allow you to access your Google Docs info while offline using Google Gears. Great for people who travel, but for some reason Google disabled that ability in May. They mentioned it will be back at some point (http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176376), hopefully it comes back soon.

Good luck in your search…if you find that ‘one size fits all’ solution please let us know!

Thanks for your comment Tim! I think this is the sticking point people will have. We need a ubiquitious solution so we can communicate with one another when not working at the same corporate environment — and maybe even when we aren’t online – like on an airplane! Its bad enough converting .doc to .docx files. I’m going to look more closely at Google docs and Open office. Best luck to you.

I’ve been trying to break up with MS for a while now. For the year or so that I was running Linux I tried to get by with a combination of OpenOffice and Google Docs. I moved to a Mac about 6 weeks ago and now rely on iWork and Google Docs. Those two take care of just about all my needs, but every once in a while I come across a doc (usually a complex spreadsheet) that just doesn’t render in a readable format…for those I use the free web-based version of Office 2010. Not ideal, but it works.

YAY! Neva made it into the Vlog. I liked the girlfriend that was dragged there by her boyfriend.

Is it all that? Next one should be about ATT and the Fing dropped calls!

Kudos!

I love it Wendy! Lines in California are hundreds long, as per CNN, as you know.

Denver now has a BIXI-like bike sharing program called Bcycle. It launched in April 2010. Learn more here: http://denver.bcycle.com/home.aspx
