Gmail, getting bloated?

Google themes now..before that we had google labs which brought into gmail a plethora of features mostly useless..first it was gmail, then it became gmail with chat, then support for new smileys..now it chat with video support..

All because Gmail became too fat!

Isn’t gmail becoming too bloated with features, though definitely most of them useful nevertheless..

Even worse is all those new smileys and video chat doesn’t even find support on the gtalk application..I wish they would have focused on the gtalk application when trying to improve the chat experience..Now what do we have? support for these smileys over mail…yeah! great…and of course I really need voicemail when I am dealing with a mail application…honestly…This is not just with the Gmail but also the same with all their other applications….Take a look at google chrome, I already have firefox (thank you!).. But first it was orkut and now even youtube asks you whether you would like to try google chrome…maybe just so that you could feed it doughnuts! Maybe I am indulging in too much of google bashing, but then I prefer the good old days of gmail when mail was good…and it was just mail with no webclips (don’t I already use your google reader?)…And I almost forgot AIM integration for chat,  which brought in my feeds, no math to work out when you send out mails at night and lots of other silly lab features…

I wouldn’t say that there hasn’t been features on the useful side, IMAP is a great feature to add on to any mail service. I love the space in my box definitely, after all “Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage” , the awesome feature of labelling mails, starring important ones, the ability to create instant filters and 100s of other small bits which make my mailing experience pleasurable everyday….

True, gmail has been changed email as we know it..and I have forgotten what mail was, before gmail..but I wish gmail would focus on gmail…the gmail app on my mobile and lots of other things which I haven’t even thought about..but then, that’s what the google team’s job is..I guess, I haven’t even sent a mail from my gmail account in the past few months…so to tell you the truth, I use the chat more than the mail :D

How to make nonsensical statements

“Life is such an empty piece of facts and happenings when there is no care and love involved“
- (insert some great name here, but the statement is mine which isn’t too bad for a starter)
Now thats quite a revolutionary and bold statement. A statement much ahead of its times. An empty piece refers to the aspect that there it is not quite the complete picture and that there could be more to it than actually meets the eye (i.e. this statement)
The words “facts and happenings” provide a sense of boredom to the statement at same time serve the purpose of stressing on the issue that life could be viewed as a statement of truth and significant events during a specific timeline (which as we observed earlier, is only a portion of the entire aspect which does not meet the eye).
The words “happenings” also enables the reader to understand that each event of life in itself does not render completeness and it requires a multitude of situations and circumstances which would make it even remotely capable of being qualified to be called a slice of life.
The last leg of the journey which the statement seeks to lead us constitutes of enlighten us of the effects of the absence of the emotive aspects of care and love involved. We cannot even attempt to fathom the impacts on life when such aspects of life are lost since we are very much used to taking these for granted. The word care not only appears in the statement to compliment the component of love but also to enable the person to truly appreciate that love should be expressed in the words of care.
Now that you have read the nonsense about a statement which I wrote. I really think everyone can appreciate how I have tried to bring out the essence in which management books, great orators, boring teachers and others attempt to fool the masses. They merely beat around the bush with a single statement and helps them out since they are not at all required to tax their intelligence for actually radical statements for which otherwise they may have to answer for. The inspiration for this is purely attributable to the various abstract management concepts, presentations and speakers I’ve heard over the years.
Coming back to the where we left off yesterday, its not really that I have changed or anything around has changed; Just got myself an “attitude transplant” as calvin would say…And somehow my mind hasn’t rejected it yet…I do not know when that would happen, but anyway let me enjoy it when it lasts. I have got a team building session tomorrow and nothing much happened today…
