Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk — both enterprise and consumer versions — are now out of beta. "Beta" will be removed from the product logos today, but we'll continue to innovate and improve upon the applications whether or not there's a small "beta" beneath the logo. Indeed, today we're also announcing some other Google Apps features that we think will appeal to large enterprises: mail delegation, mail retention and ongoing enhancements to Apps reliability.

I'm feeling way better now.

First trend: some people commented that there was a pretty good match between their most expensive purchases and those that gave the most happiness

Second trend: many comments noted that the happiness items were often experiences rather than physical goods – especially experiences that were social, memorable, educational, adventurous, or altruistic

Third trend: many comments emphasized the value of thrift, and argued that their good overlap between expense and happiness was due to sensible consumer decisions

Fourth trend: several comments emphasized the importance of financial security and low debt, for peace of mind, if not for happiness

Fifth trend: I’m struck by the absence of some items I expected to be really important for the happiness of some of the people, at least some of the time, such as:

The study was conducted by Dr. Geoffrey Miller, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of New Mexico. Dr. Miller asked New York Times readers toFrom here, the study’s results drift toward the cynical, and the somber. Items listed disproportionately on the ‘expensive’ lists included children (and their associated expenses), marriages (and their associated stresses), and boats—all items requiring massive time and responsibility commitments, as well as the obvious sunk money. Those items appearing far more often on the ‘happy’ list than on the ‘expensive’ list were objects such as bicycles, liquor, shared food, books, and quality bedding—items conducive to personal intimacy, shared thoughts, and personal pleasure.

In Spain Pepsico’s Lay’s chips not only have a rather surprising Jamon flavor but also a rather surprising Bolsa de Suerte promotion. The “good luck bag” campaign dreamed up by Tiempo BBDO consists of little scratch cards in each of their bags of chips. With them you can either win a free bag of chips or cash. Pepsico are giving away 3,000,000 free bags of chips, which should say something about their margins on the stuff. The campaign, if my Spanish has not left me completely, aims at letting people who have never won anything win something. Free chips for losers seems like a winning proposition to me.The small amounts and the sheer number of prizes makes this campaign feel very different from other “buy our stuff and win something” promotions. The prizes are redeemed by sending an SMS to them. You then receive two SMS’s back one with a secret code and the other from Hal-Cash.

I was in Japan two weeks back and I keep wondering why so many Prius everywhere. I just got my answer:

Toyota's Prius has become the first hybrid car to outsell all other vehicles in Japan, figures show.

It sold 22,292 Prius vehicles in June, from 6,231 in the same month a year earlier and from 10,915 in May said the Japan Automobile Dealers Association.
