Google Gears really suck! Unbelievable that in a security update it will crash! Not the point here, but Gears suck with docs and reader. Works perfectly only with Gmail.
If I have to go to forums and groups every time my browser make a small update I prefer to don't use Gears anymore. Gears team are always late with the releases and don't even bother to read the users messages.
