Comment who is allowed to check? (Score 1) 54

  • So that means anyone can, presumably silently, check if I'm on a phone call?
  • Or perhaps anyone can check if I'm on a phone call with a specific number?
  • Or perhaps anyone can check if I'm on a phone call and retrieve the number?

Other than the "silently" part, I suppose the first isn't a lot different than the old style busy signal, but I wonder what Google has in place to avoid abuse of that feature.

The niche it fills is that it is a *lightweight* editor which works for rtf files and LF-only text files, which is available without installing anything extra. Starting up MS Word or LibreOffice Writer takes several times longer than firing up Wordpad, which makes the latter far more usable, especially for taking some quick notes or cutting and pasting some snippets.

Gmail allows it, but certainly doesn't make it easy to use. Though you can receive emails with a plus sign, if you want to respond from one you need to manually add it as an "alias". They really should make that automatic, and also let you edit the from address on-the-fly while composing an email.
I wonder if O365 will get this right?
