Google: A Kinder, Gentler, Less Fat, Successful Newman

Gmail offers to open excel in spreadsheetsGoogle's Gmail is offering users the option to open Excel attachments in Google Spreadsheets.

File this one under "saw that coming."

Like any good citizen with a brain full of pop culture debris, when I saw this news I thought of the famous line from Seinfeld's Newman: "When you control the mail, you control information."

I was going to use that quote as my headline, so I did a Google search to ensure I had it right, thinking I'd hit upon a Seinfeld tribute site. But no. When I searched, the second result returned was a post on John Battelle's blog, and that post is from last month. WTF? That just seems silly to me, that Battelle has a lock on Newman's legacy like that. Give Newman back, John. Give him back.
