One of the features that Google’s online office program Google Docs lacks is a cloud-based version of Microsoft Office’s “clipboard” feature. Although you can copy and paste when using Docs, it’s a much simpler procedure. The keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + C” copies and “Ctrl + V” pastes, but it’s a one-time process. You can’t accumulate a collection of copied items for later pasting as you can with the Office clipboard.
Some may argue that’s by design – Google likes to keep things simple. However, it appears that may not be the case, after all. As spotted by the Google Operating System blog, a new server-side clipboard looks like it may be close to launch …
Gtriage is a new service that aims to help Gmail users suffering from “information overload” due to an overcrowded inbox – a problem affecting the majority of email users today.

Frankly I’m more likely to use Google Reader to search for specific information nowadays, than to scan my subscribed feeds for their latest posts [I should note however that our news writers use a variety of RSS Readers daily]. So what’s happened to RSS Readers. Do people still use them and is there still a viable market for them? …
CouchDB is a document database server having a flat address space. It is schema-free and ad-hoc but incorporates bi-directional management and conflict detection. There is no relational database, nor does it perform as a replacement for the same. The language uses JavaScript and options to query and index are available. It does not function as a seamless persistence layer for an OO programme language as there is no connection to an object oriented database. The reporting engine is table-oriented and the format is distributed, with incremental replication that is extremely robust …
