People tell us all that time that they’re getting more and more mail and  often feel overwhelmed by it all. We know what you mean—here at Google  we run on email. Our inboxes are slammed with hundreds, sometimes  thousands of messages a day—mail from colleagues, from lists, about  appointments and automated mail that’s often not important. It’s  time-consuming to figure out what needs to be read and what needs a  reply. Today, we’re happy to introduce Priority Inbox (in beta)—an experimental new way of taking on information overload in Gmail.

 

Gmail  has always been pretty good at filtering junk mail into the “spam”  folder. But today, in addition to spam, people get a lot of mail that  isn't outright junk but isn't very important—bologna, or “bacn.”   So we've evolved Gmail's filter to address this problem and extended  it to not only classify outright spam, but also to help users separate  this "bologna" from the important stuff. In a way, Priority Inbox is  like your personal assistant, helping you focus on the messages that  matter without requiring you to set up complex rules.

 

 

Priority Inbox splits your inbox into three sections: “Important and unread,” “Starred” and “Everything else”:

 

 

As  messages come in, Gmail automatically flags some of them as important.  Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important,  including the people you email most (if you email Bob a lot, a message  from Bob is probably important) and which messages you open and reply to  (these are likely more important than the ones you skip over). And as  you use Gmail, it will get better at categorizing messages for you. You  can help it get better by clicking the or buttons at the top of the inbox to correctly mark a conversation as  important or not important. (You can even set up filters to always mark  certain things important or unimportant, or rearrange and customize the  three inbox sections.)

 

After lots of internal testing here at  Google, as well as with Gmail and Google Apps users at home and at work,  we’re ready for more people to try it out. Priority Inbox will be  rolling out to all Gmail users, including those of you who use Google Apps, over the next week or so. Once you see the "New! Priority Inbox" link in the top right corner of your Gmail account (or the new Priority Inbox tab in Gmail Settings), take a look.

Oracle sues Google over Android

larry-ellison

 

Oracle announced today that it has filed suit against Google for alleged patent and copyright infringement.

 

The business software giant headed by Larry Ellison (pictured) said  that the suit concerns intellectual property related to the Java  programming language, which Oracle purchased through its acquisition of Sun Microsystems.  In a press release, Oracle spokeswoman Karen Tillman said, “In  developing Android, Google knowingly, directly and repeatedly infringed  Oracle’s Java-related intellectual property.”

 

I’ve embedded a copy of Oracle’s complaint below, which includes more  details about the company’s allegations. From the complaint: “Google’s  Android competes with Oracle America’s Java as an operating system  software platform for cellular telephones and other mobile devices. …  Google has been aware of Sun’s patent portfolio, including the patents  at issue, since the middle of this decade, since Google hired certain  former Sun Java engineers.”

 

A Google spokesman told me that the company hasn’t been served with  the complaint yet, so it can’t comment. There’s a good chance that  Oracle raised the issue with Google before filing suit, so it may be  worth quoting the boilerplate language in Google’s latest earnings report about how Google is involved in legal claims “from time to time,” but  that the company believes “the resolution of our current pending matters  will not have a material adverse effect on our business.”
