Glassware. You're Doing It Wrong. {Luxist}
Jul 26th 2009 12:08AM "The shape of the glass effects the whole umami, or mouthfeel."
I'm curious as to the use of the word umami in this context. As far as I know, umami is one of the 5 basic tastes sensed by receptors on the tongue. It specifically deals with the detection of the carboxylate anion of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid common in meats, cheese, broth, stock, and other protein-heavy foods. [1]
I've never had wine that shares characteristics with this food. And I've never before seen usage of this word to describe the "feel" inside of ones mouth. Maybe I'm missing a particular etymology.
Could you please clarify? Thanks.

Enhanced Gmail Plug-in for BlackBerry now in beta testing {Engadget}
Jul 6th 2009 3:09PM I use the gmail app on my bold because my gmail address is for personal use and use the messaging for work/business. The gmail app is fine, as it allows for searching, tags, and stars, but the thing that kills me is that I can't copy/paste from messages within this app! C/P works everywhere else on my BBerry, so why doesn't it work for this app? Maybe this plug-in will finally allow this feature.
