Google’s Engineering Director has promised that its forthcoming Chrome OS will see ‘the end of malware’. Google is promising what the latest issue of New Scientist magazine refers to as “a carefree antivirus nirvana” with its forthcoming Google Chrome OS. Linus Upson, Google’s Engineering Director, has promised the company is: “Completely redesigning the underlying security [...]

It’s been an exciting nine months since we launched the Google Chrome browser. Already, over 30 million people use it regularly. We designed Google Chrome for people who live on the web — searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. However, the operating systems [...]

Looks like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk are out of beta! I thought at first it was only Gmail that went out of beta. Interesting they all went out at the same time. Tags: Gmail, Google, Google Apps

As of today, Gmail is no longer in beta. This is BIG NEWS. Tags: Gmail, Google

Google is rolling out a handful of changes to the way it handles labels in Gmail. First, labels are moving into the top left-side navigation area, right by your shortcuts for inbox, sent, starred, and other items. You can also choose to hide some labels while showing others. Probably one of the biggest changes is [...]

I recently wrote about how I have switched from Outlook to Gmail. I am still using Gmail, but have started second thinking my decision since reading about how many people have had their accounts locked by Google for no apparent reason. Many Gmail users have been met with a screen while trying to log into [...]

I like Twitter and use Twitter. But I cannot see a reason for a company like Google to buy it. Twitter has no means of advertising to make money. They can’t charge for the service, so they are stuck. They can certainly advertise on the website, but that won’t cause too many impressions for the [...]

I have completely switched from Outlook 2007 to Gmail for just about all of my email needs. I will continue to use Outlook to download my email periodically for backup purposes and for storing my contacts. The contact feature in Gmail is disappointing and is lacking in feature set when compared to what Microsoft offers. [...]

I have to confess that I kind of feel like an idiot. When I’m composing an email and want to go back into Gmail and look at an existing email, I have to save my email in order to get back to all mail. No longer. I never noticed the little button on the top [...]

Chrome is fast. I mean really fast. To me, it seems 2 to 3 times faster than other browser. Rendering pages seems faster along with starting up the browser from a cold boot. This speed definitely translates into a nicer browsing experience. Tabs are separated into different processes on the computer. This is perhaps one [...]

Most email programs have a preview pane. To me this is the most important feature I would like to have that Gmail does not currently offer. Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook Express and even Yahoo Mail, they all have it. They have this feature for a reason, because it’s useful. I’m hoping Gmail will implement this [...]

The way we use email is changing rapidly. We have come to the point where the email program with the exception of Microsoft Outlook is dead. Outlook is an exception only in that it has a slightly longer amount of life due to it’s PIM function and that businesses are so dependent. Over the years [...]
