Google updates Docs & Spreadsheets

Docs & SpreadsheetsIs it too much to ask for a day without Google related news? The company's always buying another startup, redesigning its search page, or launching a new service, and frankly we'd be getting sick of it if we didn't find so many of these services so useful.

The latest update is an overhaul of Google Docs & Spreadsheets. The online office suite has undergone a major redesign, with a much more polished look and feel, including new icons and an easier at-a-glance view of all documents you've worked on in the last day, week, month, and year.

Probably the biggest change is that labels have been replaced with folders. All your old tags have been automatically converted to folders, and you can place documents in multiple folders So what's the difference between a label and a folder? Basically the fact that you can drag and drop your files into folders.

The Google Docs & Spreadsheets search feature has also been updated so that it now shows matching results as you type.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
