Instant result while writing exam - Google Instant!

Everyday everybody searches in search engines spending much time. Now Google has realized and released a new feature in its search engine called Google Instant. This feature is said to save the searcher's time of about five seconds, by providing search results even before you complete typing the search word itself! It is done by its prediction of the most likely word for the partially typed word and instant production of results for that predicted word itself. The rest of the predicted letters for the word being typed is shown in light grey colour before you finish typing. You can also view the search results for each of the partially predicted word-parts (that are presented in the drop down list) by simply passing over and pointing the arrow on each of them! This Google Instant is compatible with Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 8. Though it is restricted now to a certain geographical areas only, it is said that it will be soon extended to all other parts of the world.

Tips on Gmail attachments for you!

When we find a method, we use it, adapt to it and go on using it. But there are many other easier methods that have been developed recently. For example, take attachment of files in Gmail. It has now features that you may not know. Find them here:

1) You can drag files from Desktop to 'Compose Mail' page to upload!
2) You can select multiple files by multi-selecting them (holding Ctrl key and clicking on each file) to attach!
3) Gmail warns you if you have forgotten to attach a file with your mail.
4) You can view files (sent/received) directly by Google Docs Viewer. So, to view the files you need not download and save them to Desktop anymore.
5) You can search for a forgotten attachment in 'Gmail's advanced search operators' (click 'Show search options' found near search boxes) and find it out easily and quickly.

Hacking mail account for Marketing!

Hacking email account is also done for purposes other than knowing the mail contents. Here is an example: it has been used for marketing electronic products! Yes, one person has hacked the password of my relatives email account. He/she has not only accessed the account's contents but also operated it and sent emails to all the Contacts in the Address Book (- including me!), as if he/she was my relative! But the contents of the mail endorsed an electronic product that he/she recently bought(!) at a cheaper rate! Here find one of those mail's contents:


I found out the hacking of the account when I contacted and inquired my relative by phone regarding the above mail's contents whether he bought the electronic item, and also about his sending such a mail. Spelling mistakes also pointed to the hacking. I reported about it to my relative and he immediately changed the password to a stronger one and protected his account.
