Evidence of Gmail Task List

Following the post I made yesterday about the rumored Gmail task list feature that "turned out to be" RTM, I saw a comment from Garett at Google Operating System and revisited the Groups thread pertaining to his original post. Users on Groups have posted evidence that Google is internally testing a task list feature.

The evidence comes in the form of CSS rules. One particularly interesting one references corp.google.com, which is (as far as I know) an internal network address accessible only within Google. Take a look at this rule (I've added line breaks and indents for clarity and space):

.gtasks-sprite {
background-image: url(http://www.corp.google.com↵
/~bolinfest/gtasks/sprites.png)
}


Looks like Garett was right after all. Yipe! I still want support for other task services, though. And the option to turn it on and off.

If you're here, you must have an opinion to voice about my post or its subject matter. I welcome your thoughts. However, I have a rule you must follow: Be courteous. Comments that are rude, indecent, brash, etc. will be deleted without notice. So if you're writing in anger, please take a moment to collect your thoughts and write a masterful opus, rather than an irate rant.

I also reserve the right to remove comments that are completely irrelevant or that contain links I determine to be spam.

Thanks!
