Yeah, but apparantly it came out of "beta" status now.
Wait, are you saying that something Google released is out of beta?
(No I didn't read the article, and I find it amusing that almost nothing from Google ever makes it out of beta)

You would think that they would have put up a screenshot of the sidebar where their stock was up rather than down $4.17.

It means we don't need to fear the monsterous offspring of a Google/Microsoft copulation.

yeah but:
gAir would smell fresh with the ocasional seafood aroma. MS-Air would have the essence of stale dog crap. The gCar would produce gAir as it's exhaust, and as we all know the MS-Car would crash and get broken into easily. gLatte amd MS-Latte would actually be re-branded Starbucks, but nobody would know that.

If you havent noticed /. is pretty much under seige by Microsofties and astroturfers. Not many dislike google since they have done nothing wrong yet. Except ofcourse your average MS fanboy who hates everything that MS hates.

Are you kidding? This place is overflowing with Google juice, with endless ranks of Google fanboys falling over themselves to praise whatever it is that Google has done lately to push ads more intrusively into our lives. I find it remarkable that an argument that "all Google wants is to feed you ads" can be stated with a straight face. Isn't this the crowd that demonized Doubleclick to the ends of the Earth? So what makes Google so different from Doubleclick? Oh, right - they use Linux so they must be good.

So keep on believing that whoever isn't drinking the Google coolaid is secretly a Microsoft astroturfer.

Oh God. Their going to use Windows for it, but all the apps will be from Google. Kind of like GNU/Linux: it'll be Google/NT.
