An Official Google Voice App for the iPhone

(Umang) — Thu, 23 Temmuz 2009 22:53:01 UT

Google should come out with an official Google Voice app so that
people with Google Voice can text for free on the iPhone. The GV
mobile app currently on the App store does not fully function the way
it should on the iPhone, and Google should help out Google Voice users
by creating their own iPhone app.

Google Alerts Help Needed: Results without Comma in Search Phrase

(Rachael) — Mon, 29 Haziran 2009 15:28:36 UT

Hello! I currently have a Google Alert set up for the phrase "Service
Design." I have been noticing that many of the results include
"service, design" rather than just "service design", where service and
design are listed as part of a list within that article. Is there a
way to refine my search so it only brings up articles that match

Why Google Quick Search is a waste of time... for now

(daxx) — Mon, 25 Mayıs 2009 20:04:25 UT

The OSX search is still far and away the better search tool on the
mac. Google's Quick Search could be better if you brought it up to the
same standard as Apple. Let me explain.

I'm looking for Adobe Illustrator files I worked on yesterday. They
were saved as .ai files...
If I search for all files that end with ".ai", I get a total of

Is mac Power PC development going to continue?

(OscarOfTheFarms) — Sun, 01 Şubat 2009 08:58:35 UT

I am very happy with my power PC based macs. They outlast, and
outperform the Intel based models.

Essentially, I fully understand releasing software for Intel based
Macs first, then having some sort of an architecture layering plan. I
really would love to use Picassa (already do on the Intel Mac) and

iPhone - push mail

Google really needs to enable push mail for the iPhone. There are
work arounds, but none are pretty. Yahoo has been doing it for a year
and a half.

It seems like Google is spreading out a bit thin and not keeping up in
certain areas. It took too long to get Picasa released on the mac and
it's taking too long to do push mail. You were ahead of the curve on

Profiles

I spent some time creating a Google profile.. and then found Google
groups logging in with the same account... looks like similar
information needs to be entered once again ... why not integrate?

Inability to Reply

I've been looking at several of the "New" posts in this group, and
they have a "Forward" link on each posting, but many do NOT have a
"Reply" link. Some, like "Voice Chat" have a mixture, which makes my
case. Google, why can't I Reply to most posts?

It's pretty good! No need to fire up Skype any more!

Notifier and SSB (Fluid.app, Mozilla Prism etc)

(Håvard Pedersen) — Tue, 18 Kasım 2008 10:37:05 UT

While the GMail notifier support 3rd party mail apps for composing
messages, it should also do this for opening messages and the inbox.

I routinely use a Single Site Browser (more specifically Mozilla Prism
since I feel Firefox is more robust than Webkit) for GMail. This way,
I have a GMail.app with no unneccessary controls for reading my mail.

I tried it, it works flawlessly!

There is such a thing as iChatAV. you can do video as well.

I don't use it myself, but I hear it is pretty good, if everyone is on
a mac.

I agree, developers have been talking about this for three years! Why
doesn't anyone want to work on this? I just switched to Mac for my
business and now I can't talk with my family or send files without
using Skype which, honestly, doesn't work as well as Gtalk.

Quick search bar hot key

(editor gerry) — Tue, 14 Ekim 2008 21:45:44 UT

Micah and myself would like to know:
The default hotkey (tapping the apple/command button twice) comes up
extremely often during normal use of the machine (switching between
apps or between tabs in browsers usually employs this key and the
time
allowance for counting a double is very long).
There is a preferences box which appears to allow customization of
