How To make Gmail Has to work fast

Gmail is one of the most widely used email service in the world. It is very popular since provides storage space, fast user interface, free sign-up etc. However, there are a lot of features that can enhance the user experience of the mail service by manifold. Most users are aware of the features that are enabled by default and use them regularly but, don't know the tricks how to boost there Gmail.

But you can fallow below steps to enhance your Gmail.


1) Don't upload, just embed
By default, Gmail gives you the option of only attaching images to an email. However, with this feature enabled you can embed images from your computer or from a website directly into the mail body. Go to Settings, click on Labs, scroll down to the feature that says "Inserting Images" and enable it. You will notice the new insert image box in your mail composer right next to the emoticon icon.

2)Control yourself
This feature is useful for people who have multiple Gmail address or who want to grant read/write permission for their account to another user. Go to Settings, click on Accounts and Import, at the bottom you will see an option that says "Grant Access to your account". Click on Add Account and enter the Gmail address of the person you want to grant access. Once the person accepts the verification mail, he/she can access your account by clicking on the next to his own mail ID on top right and selecting your mail ID.

3) Undo sended mail
If you pressed the send mail button and want to cancel it? Gmail Labs has a feature that gives you a few seconds to stop the mail from going out after you press the send button. Go to Settings, click on Labs and enable the option that says "Undo Send". Click General under Settings and here you can select the time for which the email can be stopped after it is sent. When you press the send button, you would see a yellow box saying, "Your message has been sent. Undo or View message" on top. Click on undo to cancel sending the mail.

4) Reply to all
Gmail's default reply button composes the mail to the person who has sent the mail ignoring all the people who were put in CC. If you have to do a reply all, you have to press the arrow next to the reply box and then select "reply to all". Instead, you can set the "reply to all" function as default. Go to Settings, click on Labs and enable "Default reply to all" feature. It is far simpler to just remove selective email IDs from the CC box than selecting " reply to all" from a drop down box every time.

I think you can get the ideas about how to boost gmail.If you are having any idea about this please don't hesitate to share with us.

can Google have chance to Reinvent Web Video?

An ambitious attempt by Google to shift the Web over to a new, royalty-free video format has taken significant strides. New software has been released that can build the format into dedicated chips for cell phones and other gadgets, perhaps the most crucial step before it can displace the proprietary video format that currently dominates.
Google's video format is known as WebM. It was created by combining the audio format Vorbis with VP8, a video format that Google bought last year with the intention of making it free for all to use in WebM. Google wants WebM to become the default for Web video and join the wave of new, powerful, and, crucially, free-to-use Web technologies such as HTML5 that enables Web pages to act like desktop applications.
By enabling the development of equivalent chips for WebM is crucial if the rival format is to gain a foothold. Without such hardware, the work of encoding video is done by software that taxes a device's main CPU too much, draining battery life. "The new hardware encoder encodes VP8, using a tiny fraction of the electricity that a general-purpose processor/CPU would use even at HD resolution".
The Google team tested the new hardware encoder by running it on simulated chips and real ones known as FPGAs that can be reconfigured to implement different hardware designs. Interested hardware firms can apply to receive the code for the new encoder online. Kuusela wrote in a blog post that "several top-tier semiconductor partners" are already starting to build their next chips with VP8 built in, but wouldn't name specific firms. Major chipmakers, including AMD, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments, are public supporters of the project, though, although they will likely support both VP8 and existing formats in their chips.
All the best google –WebM.

Google now Partners with MasterCard, Citigroup to Develop NFC Payment Scheme

The Google Nexus S has a near field communications (NFC) chip in it, so you know that Google is interested in pursuing this technology for a variety of purposes. The use of this application is mobile payments and it looks like the search engine has just made its next big move on this front, buddying up with MasterCard and Citigroup to make it happen.


The interesting thing is that Google isn’t at all interested in taking a cut from the transaction amount. Instead, it’s going back to its search business, selling customer information back to retailers. The stores can then offer targeted ads and discounts to their customers.




Considering all the security things with chip-and-pin technology, requiring signatures, and all things, they want to make it as easy as tapping a phone to pay for a new Xbox and mortar store.
and one thing you should remember that,if you lose your phone, you could be losing so much more. The thief can check your email, update your Facebook,twitter, and potentially load up on file at Morton’s Steakhouse.
