Uh-oh, Google Doc's offline mode is going...well...offline. Starting May 3rd, offline access for Google Docs <http://docs.google.com/>, the Internet search giant's web office suite, home to an online document editor, spreadsheet editor and slideshow creator, will be disabled. Previously, users had been able to take advantage of the offline functionality provided by Google Gears <http://gears.google.com/>, an open source browser extension which allowed for both the viewing and editing of files when an Internet connection was not present. Soon, the Gears-enabled feature will be no more. But have no fear - this setback is only temporary..at least that's what a company blog post<http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html> says. -- Abdullah Sawas -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/gears-users/subscribe?hl=en
