Lots of Google applications still had a “Beta” tag on them (including Gmail) for several years. It makes one wonder why on earth an application is still in beta for years but lots of people can’t seem to live without it. When Gmail went down, it’s like the whole world shook in terror. I guess the tag “Beta” wasn’t helping at all.
Well, today Google decided to remove the Beta tag out of their applications such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Talk. If for a silly reason you still want the tag Beta on your Gmail logo, feel free to enable the “feature” on Gmail’s Lab Settings O_o
For those who hate a change in life...

I don’t see why people are so concerned over the beta tag. It doesn’t really mean much other then that the software is not perfect yet. It never will be perfect.
Like the commenter above me said software is never perfect. It always has room for improvement. Frankly I’m just glad that Google continues to improve their entire suite of free software. If it wernt for this post I never would have noticed that it was gone.

Feels a bit like “finally” even if I’ve never been disturbed by it. Fun function on the other hand.
