Offline, Semi-Offline Modes Now Available in Gmail [Google]
Gizmodo — Offline Gmail was one of the greatest promises of Google Gears, and it's finally available in Gmail Labs—with a few unexpected extras. In the new offline mode, Gmail will open a cached version of the site—a downloaded in-browser client, basically—and let you browse, write, delete and queue messages for sending (a small indicator icon in the top right corner will warn you that you aren't connected). As soon as you switch to online mode, your actions are synced with Google's servers. That's not really surprising—it's how all Gears apps work. The cool part is the ...

Alice Hill's Real Tech News - Independent Tech — gmail.jpg By Michael Santo Editor-in-Chief, RealTechNews How can Google’s Gmail service going offline be good news? Well, it can if what I mean by “offline” isn’t a stoppage of the service, but instead a way to read, reply, etc. to your Gmail without being connected to the Internet. It’s beta, of course (how could it not be, as Gmail is still beta), and it utilizes Google’s Gears technology to offer the offline access. Showing it’s even more experimental than Gmail itself, Offline Gmail is available only through Gmail Labs, and typically, it’s being rolled out slowly. Google describes it thusly : Once you turn on this feature, Gmail ...

Giz Explains: What the Hell's Google Chrome OS? [Giz Explains]
Gizmodo — Google. Chrome. OS. Just reading that makes my pants tingle. But, uh, what is it exactly? Here's what Google says: "Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks" and "most of the user experience takes place on the web." That is, it's "Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel" with the web as the platform. It runs on x86 processors (like your standard Core 2 Duo) and ARM processors (like inside every mobile smartphone).
