Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I hate it too! I think I may have to find something else. Also, it looks like super crap on my phone.

Has anyone else had issues with the Google Calendar gadget on iGoogle? For weeks now, it hasn't been showing my agenda, just the mini-calendar. I don't have the "Hide agenda" box checked. It's really irritating to have to click to the main Calendar to see my stuff. That's why I have the gadget!!

(It's not even an Adblock thing. It doesn't work for me in IE either.)

So, anyone having problems with the new Google Reader? Sometimes I'll click on a feed in the left column and it takes forever to load.

This is basically what has been happening to me with the new Yahoo, in both IE and Chrome. We hates it.

Not being on Google+, I so hate the new Reader. And the new Blogger interface, but they haven't forced me to switch to that one. Yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

More Google Reader hate - NONE of the blog posts I've been scrolling past all day were marked as read! (I just had to restart Firefox and Reader has me at the same point I was this morning. What a useless piece of shit.)

So...any alternatives? Is Bloglines still around?

Google Reader is actually working fine for me (in terms of loading and marking things read), but my primary machine is a netbook and the "improved" layout wastes a lot of space. Scrolly, scrolly, scrolly.

Actually a lot of Google products are kinda problematic on my Netbook - often important buttons are on pop-up windows, and they fall off the bottom of my screen, and I can't move the window or scroll to look at them. Which seems like an obvious fail they should have dealt with, no?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is Bloglines still around?

They died. Any other online blog readers out there?

Hey. New board.

I just tried the soon-to-be-new Gmail, actually, and hated it for all the wasted space. Apparently it will be headed in that direction soon, but I got to fill out a feedback form when I switched back to the old style.

I don't mind it for Google Docs, and switched that one over to the new interface a while ago, but it definitely isn't great for gmail/reader.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right. I don't have a problem with it for google voice either. But Reader and Gmail? Hell no.

If they insist on this, I'll wait for google chrome extensions to re-skin the services.
