For IP if you wish.. I'm usually not the one to cry conspiracy theory, but I have been rather surprised at how slowly Google is moving to support it's own product in Snow Leopard. Namely, you cannot install Google Gears on Snow Leopard without using a third party hack, and even then it will only work in 32 bit browsers. This has been detailed here: <http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=847> With the clear frosting of the relationship between Google and Apple recently, it really makes one wonder. As a user of Google properties for a long time, I've always appreciated that they treated OS X as a first class citizen. Perhaps an update is right around the corner, but their comments on the bug report don't sound promising. <conspiracy> Could this be the first signs of Google using it's high adoption rate of Gmail and the like to help give their upcoming GoogleOS a leg up? </conspiracy> -Nic
