God I hate Google. The quality of products they release is soooo poor. Sure they are dominating search and advertising. But the other products they throw over the wall in perpetual beta are killing me.

I've been using Google Docs a little bit recently. In single user mode, it's ugly but it seems to work. When you have multiple people using it on the same document, it falls apart. You end up losing people's changes and other bad things happen. Test a product before you release it!!!

I just got invited to a Google Group. This is probably the first one I've actually needed to join (I ignored previous requests). It's buggy as hell. I don't want to subscribe with my Google email address (which I only have because you need a Google account for some of their services). Trying to associate my .Mac email address with my google account was incredibly difficult.

And once I did get my .Mac account on my Google account (I better not get Google spam!!), it won't let me select it for use with this Google group. I can select my Yahoo account, but not my .Mac. Seems like a bug where Google Groups doesn't pull your email addresses in real time.

Unbelievable. People use these products? Fuck, people have low standards for software when they aren't charged anything.
