Googlified

Google clearly has plan to bring Google Calendar offline using Google Gears. Many people who have Google Gears installed noticed today that when they go to Google Calendar they are asked to enable Gears for that site.

Tony Ruscoe, who took the time to “decipher” Google Calendar’s script (where you can find a lot of “gears”), found that if you enter javascript:_olp_showPromo(); into your browser when Google Calendar is loaded, you will get a dialog box (picture above) that asks you would you like to “view and edit the next 3 months of your Google Calendar when you’re not connected to the Internet.”

I don’t use Google Calendar anymore because it doesn’t have the features that I need, like to-do list, which, umm, Google promised to launch soon.
