According to a post at the official Google Docs blog, they have now modified Google Applications so that the Google Spreadsheets and Presentations are available offline. This is now available via Google Gears, which enables the documents to be viewed offline. The only downside to this is when if a document needs to be edited; it can only be done online. Google Docs was already available offline, and the difference is it that modification can be made on or off line.
The latest news on search engine market share came out yesterday. According to CNet and E Week Google’s market share dropped from 63.1% to 62.8%.

However, overall world searching did drop from 71.9 billion searches in January to 67.4 billion searches in February.
Also, according to CNet, Google has also announced it’s latest improvements to its suite of software. Gadgets have been added to the spreadsheet application, giving the user over twelve new ways to see data laid out on a spreadsheet. New views are available in a variety of tables and charts, from pie charts to heat maps for population. Also new to the applications is that users can be emailed each time someone else has modified the spreadsheet. Then the changes are highlighted when you log on to your spread sheet. Another neat feature is that users can now access stock data through the spreadsheet through a Finance function.
