Apparently, Google Calendar has an offline mode just like Gmail. Although I didn’t like the way Gmail handles your offline data, since it dumps every mail and attachments’ to your hard disk in an un-encrypted fashion, I like the idea of always accessible Google Calendar.
As always, you’ll need Google Gears to be installed in the first place.
Just noticed Bespin, a collaborative browser based code editor from Mozilla Labs, which announced last week. The idea of an online editor is not new, but this one looks pretty cool even in its very early 0.1 version. It has those must have features like code highlighting, and you can access your whole codebase wherever you want, share and work with whoever you want. I strongly suggest watching the screencast below to understand its features and discover its cleverly designed user interface.

Microsoft MyPhone beta (a.k.a. SkyBox) is open for pre-registration right now and you can get yourself an early position in the wait list with your live.com credentials.
If you haven’t heard of MS MyPhone before, it will be something similar to Apple’s MobileMe in the end, a place where you can backup & sync your contacts, mail, calendar events and documents on your Windows Mobile operated phone. Although details are not clear at the moment, it is expected to be a free service in the beginning.

I love Gmail, it simply gets more useful every day.
If you have Labs enabled in your Gmail account, you can now display your location information at your signature. You’ll probably find this useful if you are a frequent traveler.
First, you have to enable the “Location in Signature” feature in Labs, and then you have to enable signatures under settings and check the box in front of the “Append your location to the signature” option. After these steps, Gmail will use your public IP to locate where you are.
It says on the Gmail blog that using Google Gears with location module brings more accurate results with Wi-Fi triangulation.
