And yes, it supports sines and cosines (in both degrees and radians!)JeffSat, 29 Jul 2006 19:04:20 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2006/07/28/get-ready-for-google-laundry/#comment-1294450The real problem with Google throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks is the risk that people won't take a new service seriously when it actually warrants it.<br><br>Someone needs to tell Google that "release early and release often" only applies to start-ups and early stage companies that can't afford to make a big budget bet and hedge by measuring reaction to a taste of what is to come.<br><br>Apple is a great example of how mega companies should release new products. Steve Jobs keeps the world at bay and almost begging to buy his latest product before it is officially introduced. <br><br>Most new Google services provoke little more than a yawn and that is sad...or perhaps further evidence that the Google boys really did fluke it out with paid search after watching GO TO and Overture introduce it first?<br><br>Best,<br>GeorgeGeorge TsiolisSat, 29 Jul 2006 00:57:25 -0000
