        <description><![CDATA[I really believe that cloud files are the future of computing. with so many devices, it's hard to have the same files for all.having also the option of editing that file directly in the browser makes google docs an excellent choice.if I may, I have developed a cool little tool for google docs: it's called gdocsopen, and make things easier when moving from desktop office to the cloud. It hooks up to windows explorer and allows you to open a document directly in google docs with a double click.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[And the only answer I've seen regarding my concerns, which are clearly stated 1,2,3...are:1.  Google's been audited by an unnamed auditor.  You can get the report by calling their sales team.2.  uhm er .... there is no 2.So, for me to see this report, or even know who audited them, means I have to talk to someone who'll put a sales spin on it????Look, I WANT to embrace the idea.  But it's hard to not think about these issues, when you're deflected, redirected, and avoided, when you ask about them.It's like asking politicians questions they don't want to answer.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Personally you can ot compare the two diffrenr companies. One company clearly states they want their own user to developed thesoftware, verse the other companies spy on you and cell your ateention as they are your pimp As far docs, it sad to realize with our discusion how far behind the software is. Understanbly it is this way because it is fiscally unresposib. if Google offer the opurtunity ti develop their Google docs from a user point of you rather then and infustructureit writer, I would defintly pay ten dollars a month week my viper engine to bloe the I pads, Samsung tablet base doc.I want you to understand I amGman, I follow the giants to Arizona when they won the super bowl. when is Google design develop software for the young it novas. Undersanbly, image mutuple Google doc consent for at a Google doc market app. Customize your engine, n the have the software engineer sell your own design of artificial intelgence design to be compatible.When Google take there founding value to the next platue, were there is more front end cash register sale instead of back end commercial, Google will gaurentee to be able to split down to 500 again.It all start with repackaging Google engineering using great new marketing plan.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I agree with Akilestar.  It's an absurd position to imply that the product is &quot;unfinished&quot; in a negative manner.  For that matter, what product is finished?  Was Office &quot;finished&quot; when it was released?  No, next they released office 2003, and then 2007 and now 2010?  If anyone finished a product, we would not see further releases.  So by that measure, I think we can safely say OS 2 Warp is a finished product.  If that's what you look for in a product, then you need to look backward, not forward.  I have a Galaxy 10 tablet, I use google docs on it and it works just as well if not better than other &quot;office&quot; solutions out there.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[First there should be electronic recalls for faulty software. Secondly Google apps do work on I pads, if u want assistance let me know. Actually were is my easy button, any on at home depot? Write all your notes on the apple note pad, copy and paste it to a new Google doc field. Share by email with all the bells and whistle, and watch the kodac moment on the person face when they read your work.The bottom line is if you look at this from a user point of view, people are tired of spending their money on products unreliablity.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Been the new lid on the street of the busiest street of the neighborhood. No knows who you are. U running, walking all over and try to get around and have information tranfered from one coner to another corner. Well that is is called over population. The crazy intention of multiple people are called peerpresure. Now imagine being in NYC city with a block of people yelling and scream around you. Try scream over them around the, or through them. See what happens. Well guess what? The internet are over perxise wiring weather over the bird wave a or the ground floor of the web infastructure, try arguing the television when you disagree with it, see who wins the argument. The bottom line s the internet mob mentality is your test of might, will, strength, and ability to have timing with the information geeks who translate information faster than itakes you to move your eyes right to left while reading. What I am saying point blank. You need to find your ability to use thw information effecitivly.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[They are charging $50 per user per year.  For the features, it's a bargain.  There's not anything more tempting than to offload not only your mail and collaboration, but office suit to boot, with all sorts of other things, like CRM.  BUT THESE THINGS CONTAIN PRIVATE INFORMATION FOR BUSINESSES.If they made this audit public, and it was legit, up-and-up, and right-as-rain, they would eliminate the concern of the most skeptical of us, with the exception of true tin-foil hats.Win for them.  Win for auditor.No.  There's NO good reason not to make it public, so you DON'T have to ask them for it after a call to a salesman.Unless they are afraid it won't pass public scrutiny????I'm not saying that's the case.  I'm just saying that's a little suspicious.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;...a class action lawsuit against the it industry...&quot;???  How can you sue an industry?  How do you determine what companies are part of that industry and which are part of a similar and/or related industry?  This is a vacuous argument that makes no sense, and furthermore you don't seem to have a good grasp of spelling, vocabulary, or grammar.  &quot;...tooken advantage of...&quot;?  The present perfect of the verb &quot;to take&quot; is &quot;has [or have] been TAKEN.&quot;  Tooken isn't a word.  A &quot;consumer financial  investment&quot; is a thing (the noun here is INVESTMENT, not consumer--consumer in this case is acting as an adjective) and, as such, has no rights.  A consumer might have rights, depending on the situation, but since no &quot;hard cash or credit [???]&quot; changes hands for the technology in Google Docs, those rights would be fairly limited in that situation.To SUM it up, it's hard to take you seriously when you state nonsense and don't even bother to spell correctly or use proper grammar.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[How can you compare a car to software? Furthermore this happens all the time, its called a recall. My 2010 Ford Fusion came with Microsoft Sync, it didn't however have the ability to diagnose car problems and put that information on a thumbstick. The 2011 models did. Should I go to Ford and say that my car is faulty because this feature doesn't work on my car? That's just absurd. Integration in products is nice, but when something does not integrate correctly that does not mean its broken and we should sue somebody. Trying to get a quick buck? I guess Google should just recall google docs until it works on your iPad.]]></description>
