The strange thing with Google glitches

Usually bugs or server problems are annoying things. Why is it that I get a kick out of them when they happen on Google apps? Is it only me??

Barring server problems[1], Google definitely got the calendar right. This one seems to have been developed by the Gmail/AdWords/Maps/Finance/Analytics Google and not by the Page Creator/Google Base/Web Accelerator/RSS Reader Google. It's a great product, though would be (will be?...) 10x more useful if they had full syncing with Outlook. I can't see too many folks maintaining two non-synced calendars to run their lives.

[1] You'd think that with a capex spending rate of ~$1.5B per year(!!) they'd be able to handle the "heavy lifting" of some simple calendar tasks, but it seems like server capacity issues are now almost built in to every Google product launch. Strange...
