    Google launched an online spreadsheet application earlier today. To overcome the problems experienced with previous launches, they are limiting the numbers of people who can access it by asking people to go through a signup process.

Greg Linden downloaded the PowerPoint file not realising fully what it contained but as soon as he started blogging about it, it was pulled from the Google site and…
