GMail got more than 4GB mail storage capacity
2007-10-26 11:25:00
GMail , free and professional email solution with ever increasing storage capacity, covered a remarkable point of 4GB mail storage capacity. This is a very remarkable achievement for GMail users are concerned, they can store more data in their inbox.Google also has a payed version of GMail, if the storage usage exceeds the current limit. But in future, I feel Google may remove this payed version also as Yahoo made the mail storage to unlimited and Live Mail (HotMail) increased the mail storage capacity to 5GB.Also, the unofficial news and tips blog about Google, Google Operating System estimates that GMail storage will reach 6GB by January 2008.Can you now think of the times, where we had few MBs of mail storage with Yahoo and HotMail!!!.Suggested readings Setup Gmail IMAP for your iPhoneGMail features VideoGMail, Do you have it with you Open PowerPoint attachments as slideshow in GMail Increased Attachment Size from GMail Beware of Email Scam and PhishingFor complete info visit ...

Vista aero theme for firefox web browser
2007-10-17 11:49:00
Here is nice opportunity for Firefox users to enjoy the theme of Windows Vista , The Vista-aero theme for Firefox. This will give Firefox the most IE7 like look and feel and the Vista progress bar on the Firefox status bar. The menus in Firefox will also will look like those menus in Windows Vista on other Windows Operating Systems. Also you will get IE7 like tabs for browsing in Firefox.One thing I have observed after shifting to this Vista-aero theme is that I couldn't open new tabs by double clicking on the tabs bar. This is possible in Firefox with default theme and even in IE7, but not in Safari for Windows. I hope the developers would fix this issue with Vista-aero theme in near future.

Yahoo is still holding its first position in Alexa ranking, without being hampered by the online cold war.You can refer the image below, comparing the traffic ranks of MSN.com, Google.com, Yahoo.com and Live.comIf we look at the traffic trends, we can also see that Live.com is improving its ranking day by day. So, that means Microsoft is pushing Live.com more to conquer the online presence at the cost of MSN.com. If we see the reach of Yahoo.com in last three months, it is around 26.82%. And the reach of Google.com is 24.58%. Similarly for MSN.com is 22.78% and for Live.com it is 18.44%. So, once Microsoft transfers all its online services to Live.com, it would reach around 40%.
