Google quietly launches Google Tasks
Google has, without any fanfare, apparently launched an online task manager application cleverly called Google Tasks. This appears to be a more fleshed out version of the Gmail Tasks widget that showed up in Gmail Labs a few months ago. And the services are linked.

In fact, it's possible that Google Tasks is little more than the backend for the Gmail Tasks widget, but it does offer a decent way to create and manage tasks from one location.
You can nest tasks within one another, and add notes to any task. You can also set due dates and check off tasks when they're completed. Users can create, edit, and delete multiple task lists. But only the default list will be shared with your Gmail account.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Whats new is that this wasn't discovered until after the others had been released (although this was the beta test of the product). You have to edit tasks in Gmail, iGoogle, or the mobile device, there was no 'google tasks' page.
Though, what confuses me, is that DS didn't post this until AFTER the site had come down!
