From the Gmail Blog:

“Rich text signatures have long been one of our most widely requested features. Some of you have tried your own solutions, including Greasemonkey scripts, browser plugins, and even using canned responses from Gmail Labs. Others have simply lived with frustration of not being able to change the colors or font size of your signature, or insert images and links. Either way, you’ll be happy to know that today we’re launching the ability to write your own rich text signatures right in Gmail.”

Google Chrome did not fall in the pwn2own contest.  Interestingly enough, nobody tried.  There are a couple of thoughts on this that you can read about here While I doubt that Chrome is bullet proof, I like what they did to make the browser harder to compromise.

With all the bad PR about Google Buzz running around the web, I am struck with the reminder that people are very happy to trash others.  Is Buzz a failure?  I think it is too soon to tell.  I personally am underwhelmed with what I have seen so far, but time will tell if Buzz will actually make it.  I will keep an open mind, while remembering that not everything that Google does needs to be a hit.

For example I am still waiting to see something truly exciting come out of Wave.  I had fun playing with it for a week or so, but it never really spoke to me.  On the other hand, I really like Google’s Gmail, Reader, Analytics, Maps, and others.  Not too bad really.

The fact is I really like messing with new things, so when Google tries new things I will continue to want to be one of the first to check it out.
