The death of my laptop and Google Docs offline means I should just go home.

What would cause the CPU to peg? Software, most likely.

Mr. Dave Rosenberg, Google Gears is available for Macs which allows you to do work offline and then syncs when you go online. If Google Docs is down online you would be able to work offline with Google Gears as a back up. This is useful when you are out of range of internet access, like say when you are on an airplane.

Surely what you describe on the MBA is a software problem? I'm no defender of Apple, but on every platform I've used, OSes have become unstable at times. Like with a Windows situation, perhaps even consider reinstalling the system?

I would assume it's a software problem but I can't seem to nail down any specific app that is causing the problems.
