Two amazing things in Gmail Labs

I think it is pretty amazing that Gmail is trying to solve real life problems like this. And it actually works. I use "Undo Send" regularly, because my brain seems to be wired to spot simple typing errors only when I press "Send". I activated "Wrong Bob" earlier today, and tested it on some combinations of addresses and it seems to work just as advertised. Good stuff.

Rebuilding Launch Services on Mac OS X 10.5+

Here's the command, works on both Leopard and Snow Leopard:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user /

(It's one long command, not multiple separate lines)

YouTube not loading Load Screen

On Mac OS X Snow Leopard, issues with Google Gears prevent YouTube from loading the Load Screen. This means you cannot upload videos.

To work around, move /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Gears.plugin to the Disabled Plug-Ins folder. Single file upload will work again.

Google Sync adds push Gmail support

Haven't tried it yet (can't afford to mess up my sync settings right now), but important enough to share. Stuff like this makes me feel sorry for the excellent Nuevasync, I fear they will become obsolete.
