If you log in to Gmail from more than one computer and you forget to sign out, you'll be able to see the list of locations where your account can still be accessed. Until now, the only solution when you forgot to log out from Gmail after using a public computer was to change your password.

Google Maps Tests Walking Directions (36)
on Google Operating System (697) permalinkGoogle Maps tests a new feature: walking directions. You can already get driving directions and, for a small number of locations, Google Maps has transit directions, but these directions are not always useful if you don't use a car or a bus.Google suggests to "use caution when walking in unfamiliar areas", since the "walking directions are in beta".
