As longtime word-processing wonks, we’ve watched as Google Docs and others take writing and editing online. But what if you want to work on something where you don’t have Internet access, such as on a plane? Adam looks at how Google Gears and its new implementation for Safari give Google Docs offline capabilities. Sticking with the text editing theme, Adam then digs into Bare Bones Software’s latest release, BBEdit 9.0. Also this week, Glenn Fleishman looks at the reports of Google’s forthcoming Web browser, called Chrome, and the comics that explain it. In the TidBITS Watchlist, we note the releases of Final Cut Express 4.0.1, VMware Fusion 2.0 RC1, Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0, Coda 1.5, and RapidWeaver 4.1.1. Lastly, TidBITS is hiring at our global headquarters in Ithaca, NY.
