Gmail allows 25MB Attachment

Posted by admin On June - 28 - 2009

Google is winning big with emails, by increasing the email attachment cap to 25MB. With a vast 7GB free space provided by gmail, most users would not have to delete an email, but with attachment properties, gmail was still lagging behind many other corporate emails.

Now gmail has increased the attachment cap to 25MB, which was 20MB earlier and was 10MB before that. While attachment sizes so matter a lot, the best feature why we still use gmail is perhaps the POP client access. Yahoo mail requires a user to upgrade to get pop access. Nobody cares about MSN these days, and is considered obsolete.

Google operating system blog though reports that a few users have not been able to attach a file of more than 10MB with the flash uploader and were required to use the HTML interface to complete the task.

Blogger Shows ADs

After serving the blogging community by providing free space and CMS for millions of bloggers, and still making monet, google has finally thought that it is time to make some money from blogger.

Blogger platform is the widely chosen platform for starters, and is even preferred to when it comes to wordpress, due to space and ad restrictions. Google did turn these bloggers into potential adsense users, which made a great user base, but more and more bloggers turned to professional blogging platforms like wordpress platform.

The potential user base did not convince google to continue offering free space and now google has decided to spice up the user panel with advertisements. Blogger now has advertisements served to the users, instead of the readers directly.

Posted by admin On June - 17 - 2009

The Asus G50Vt- X1 is a reasonably priced gaming notebook accessible. Configured and priced to contend against other well liked notebooks, the main aim of Asus is towards the new segment of the market.

Design and build

The quality and built up of laptop is more than average, with a generous usage of substantial plastic. The screen and the body lid feel tough as well as resist flexing while carrying around the notebook. Pressing tightly on the rear of the screen does not produce ripples which keeps the screen safe and sound even if it is being flipped around in journey. The tinted surfaces also snag well.

Games

For the gamers who are concerned about upgrading the components in the note book, the serviceable parts are easy to be had through a single board on the base. It reveals the processor, RAM, video card, wireless card as well as the hard drive. As the ‘warranty void if removed’ sticker is displayed, it is just for processor and the video card heat sink assembly.

Youtube

There is no doubt that monetize a site like YouTube is immensely difficult, especially if it feeds on amateur videos or copyrighted content. So many advertisers are reluctant to appear in such videos, the company Google has an obligation to consider other solutions.

This happened one time since he reached an agreement with CBS to be broadcast in their respective chapters series, it seems Youtube now in negotiations with the company Sony Pictures, to get their licenses and and freely able to cast their films from their respective website.

It should be mentioned that this would not be the first time that Sony Pictures will provide the company its license to such a site far from the first films that may look on YouTube, however, this would be one of the most striking movements from both sectors. With Youtube you need this as a first step, since in this way other companies can accept such agreements without any problem.

Anyway, would be very few titles that Sony Pictures is the company willing to license, this is only a first step, we refer to around 15, however, this would represent an about YouTube to become a distribution model content “Professional.”

Posted by admin On June - 9 - 2009

On this occasion I am pleased to announce, that was just recently released the second release candidate of Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring, we mean nothing less than the RC2, which was christened “Estèphe,” so we can only eagerly await the launch of and subsequent availability of the final version, which is scheduled for the day April 29 this year, there is no doubt that lovers of free software will be very happy with this news.

It is worth mentioning that Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring Series, which is nothing less than the new project that will improve as the absolute starting time of the respective system. At the same time, it still appears in the disk partitioning, filesystem Ext4, however, this is not the only alternative so they can choose, as others are.

As also includes the latest versions of desktop environments, specifically the Linux kernel, has also incorporated a new application and all KDE users will enjoy a new visual theme, which is ia_ora name.

In conclusion, I recommend not installing the environments in seeking stability, since this is only a distribution that is still under preparation and therefore is subject to potential failures.
