GMS, the former Postini, is a formitable, reliable, safe, and secure email security service that boasts business users such as Starbucks, UBS, Merrill Lynch and tens of thousands of small and large businesses.

GA wants to compete with MSFT in word processing, spreadsheet, and collaboration. Here, GA has zero value as well over 90% of organizations who actually use GA use the FREE version.

GA is a nice thought, but is marketed by a Google division that is run by a bunch of preppy looking and slick talking dudes who have no idea what customers want as they never talk with their business or channel partners.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-279716 279716 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:20:09 -0400
The honeymoon is over. Google stock is way down for the first time and the company is going to get a big injection of shareholder scrutiny until they are back over 500. Look for some of those over the top benefits to go away soon as the "shareholder value" engine starts up!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-279245 279245 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-279154 279154 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:41:42 -0400
Alas, what do I know, I only averaged 43% return on gold ETF and bullion last 3 years : )

If they want you to calculate the square root of a polynomial or something crazy, then the feature probably isn't a good solution. If the question is 2+3 or 5+5 or even 6/1, I might accept it.
Being a man, I think we often act before thinking and this may just help us out a bit. Obviously all women are perfect and this feature may not make sense :).]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-278707 278707 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:55:08 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-278637 278637 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:26:20 -0400
As many commenters have already noted, you have to enable this option. After looking at the Google Labs options, why didn't you write an article about the "snake" game?

By the way, it's 20% time...

"Start drinking your own kool aid"!?!?!??! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!? That was something fun/funny someone made. How can you bash over creativity? I can't believe they let you post this...]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-278598 278598 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:59:04 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-278594 278594 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:49:37 -0400
If a Gmal user wants this feature, he has to *proactively* go to settings and enable it. It is not activated by default. And if he is unhappy with it, he can later deactivate it.

You got to learn to be more transparent and unbiased in your articles Reshma. Don't hide facts.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-278589 278589 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:45:40 -0400
And I dare say it's psychologically flawed; the people most likely to send self-destructive email are also the least likely to turn on this filter in the first place.

However, if they could put a feature like this on Joe Biden's mouth, they might be on to something.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/99351-another-dumb-idea-from-google?source=feed#comment-278574 278574 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:23:15 -0400
Do you suggest that Google should stop innovating? Stop pushing the boundaries of the Internet?

I would recommend getting your facts straight before embarrassing yourself and your publication with unfounded conclusions.

I, for one, appreciate the opportunity to think about what I have written when there is an excellent chance the half-bottle of single malt may have caused me to send a message that I could regret.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/93518-6m-suit-target-amazon-must-make-web-more-accessible-to-blind?source=feed#comment-246600 246600 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:28:34 -0400
Jala, deaf people CAN enjoy radio, especially talk radio and news reports, which is the whole point of having transcripts available. They can even enjoy music, though in a very different way from the rest of us.

Honestly, Target, with it's community focus efforts, really should have known better. Somebody at Target really dropped the ball by approving the Amazon website without due consideration. Somebody, and I don't know who, really screwed up, and at the very least, should lose their own job over it. Target has better things to do with its money than lose lawsuits over stupid easily preventable mistakes. As both a shareholder and a person who cares deeply about disability issues, I would expect better from Target.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/93518-6m-suit-target-amazon-must-make-web-more-accessible-to-blind?source=feed#comment-244051 244051 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:32:49 -0400
