Google Docs to get snazzier

Due Credit: Zdnet
Google Docs has been constantly undergoing changes ,and the next round of changes is definitely going to ensure a lot of happy faces.

1) Now when you share your documents from the Docs list, you have all your options in one place. You can choose your collaborators and viewers, set permissions, and see who else is already sharing the document, just by clicking the 'Share' button.

2)Another usability update is the separation of "Print Settings" and "Print". This change lets you set up your settings - then at any time after that, selecting "Print" starts printing immediately.


3)Google has also taken steps toward offering templates. Now users have the ability to apply CSS to their documents - this means users can technically make their own templates if they are ambitious enough.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer walked away from his bid for Yahoo and left numerous questions dangling.Now what next for Microsoft,and who was the real winner of this long drawn saga?Not hard to guess,but the google guys can afford to have a big smile on their faces now.

According to the Yahoo press release Jerry Yang, co-founder and chief executive officer of Yahoo told that "With the distraction of Microsoft's unsolicited proposal now behind us, we will be able to focus all of our energies on executing the most important transition in our history so that we can maximize our potential to the benefit of our shareholders, employees, partners and users."


The Microsoft press release on the other hand had Steve Ballmer saying that "After careful consideration, we believe the economics demanded by Yahoo! do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal,”
