Here is a secret keyboard shortcut to fullscreen view of your images in Picasa. When you are in Library View, Move your mouse over any picture thumbnail, Hold down the 'CTRL' key, and then press 'ALT' key. You will instantly get a fullscreen view of that picture.

As soon as you take your finger off the 'ALT' key, you will be returned to the regular library view. This trick helps you to view the current picture in detail. This trick also works on the current photo when you are in Edit Room.

If you're looking to quickly compare a few adjacent thumbnails with the benefit of a full-screen view, simply scroll the mouse wheel when using the ctrl-alt key combo. (This is especially handy if you've just imported a clump of similar photos and want to quickly decide which to keep.)

Some users of webmail services (example Google, Yahoo, Hotmails..) have more than one web account to log into. People are using each web account for different purposes but they can't login to the same site at the same time in the same browser.

This tutorials show you hot to login more than 1 account with your Firefox.


1. Use many Browser

I think this easy way to open many accounts. You can use Firefox, Internet Explore, Opera..

2. Use Extension CookiePie Firefox

Cookies auto save you Setting, so you don't need login again. If we separate cookies we can open many accounts.

CookiePie is one add-on that can help we.

3. Use add-on Gmail Manager Firefox

4. Use IE Tab Firefox Extension

Google Docs' word processor is finally getting offline access. Using the free Google Gears extension, users will soon be able to read and edit their files even when they have no Internet connection.

The Gears-enabled version of Google Docs will roll out to users over the next few weeks, starting Monday. If you don't have access to the feature, just keep trying, Google Docs product manager Ken Norton told me. You'll know you have the feature when you see a little "offline" menu item in the upper right of your document window in Google Docs.

Offline access for Google's spreadsheet and presentation app will follow after the word processor rollout is complete, Norton said, and will be read-only to start.

Google Docs will not, at first, let users create new documents while offline. The feature's first-use case is, "I'm amending a document and I lose my Internet connection," Norton said. Document creation capability will come eventually.

Of course, users will not be able to collaborate in real time when offline, or see if other users are simultaneously modifying a document they are editing in offline mode. Google Docs will "do its best" to reconcile changes made by multiple users when one or more are offline, Norton said. If there are conflicting edits, a dialog box will pop up when an offline editor comes back online.

Offline access is a necessary feature to make Google's productivity suite a competitor to Microsoft Office. However Google Docs' feature set, while improving over time, still falls far short of the functionality available in the Microsoft suite.

The only other Google application to use Google Gears currently is the RSS reader, Google Reader. A few other apps use Google Gears, such as Remember The Milk.

Mozilla maintains that HTML 5, which includes specifications for offline access to interactive Web sites, will obviate the need for Google Gears. That's not likely to stop people from trying the new offline version of Docs. Norton reminded me that Gears is open source, and that it is "the only way to bring offline support to the entire Web audience as a whole."

Gears does indeed run on more platforms than HTML 5 today, however it still doesn't cover every Web platform: Google Gears runs on Firefox 1.6 and above (but not beta 3) on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It also supports Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher on Windows. There is no support for Safari, Flock, Opera, Maxthon, or mobile browsers.

We'll have a hands-on review shortly.

Here's a demo by Google's Ken Norton:

After the success of the Google Search homescreen plugin for S60 handsets - which Vincent described as making “a big difference” to handset usability - the search company has announced a similar app for Windows Mobile handsets.

Google has now brought its home screen search application to the WinMo platform, noting on its blog that it has discovered that S60 and BlackBerry users with the app installed are able to get to Google search results about 40 percent quicker than those without — and they search 20 percent more. Makes sense, considering the pain involved with loading the browser, navigating to a favorite (or even worse, typing in google.com by hand) and tapping your feet for a few seconds. The plug-in is available immediately.

Number of internet users from China, India and other Asian countries are increasing day by day. Among those new internet users most of them would prefer to read contents in their native language itself. It is very difficult and not a smart way to keep different language versions of same content for serving customers with languages other than English.


And the easy and smart way of tackling these challenges is to employ language conversion scripts on your websites and blogs. We have well known, well dependable and free language conversion tools available in the internet from Google and Yahoo.

GMail with ever increasing mail storage size has also increased its attachment maximum size to 20 Mega Bytes. Now GMail users can send more video clips, presentation slides, songs, lots of photos as e-mail attachment.

I think, this is the aftermath of the upgrade happened in Google search engine and servers, after integrating Google's image, blog, news, people, groups search to universal search.

I am dreaming of the ever increasing (unlimited, in another way) attachment size!!!. Any way
its not quiet far away.
Its true that, Users are always greedy!!!.
