I have a constant flow of apps in my inbox and in Firefox tabs, waiting to see if they are worth a review. Most of the time, when an app is unusable or has major bugs, I just delete it and move on.

That means reading and editing is now possible with the new Zoho-plus-Google Gears combo. Which is something [...]

Just when you think there couldn't possibly be any more news to be posted about Web-based word processors and things, at least for a short while, Adobe comes out with an announcement of its intentions to get into the game. Yes, that’s right, Adobe is joining the fray.
