Gmail goes offline

Now you can have your Gmail offline , in other words you can check the mails already in your inbox without internet access. as per Google : "Today we're starting to roll out an experimental feature in Gmail Labs that should help fill in those gaps: offline Gmail. So even if you're offline, you can open your web browser, go to gmail.com, and get to your mail just like you're used to." Once you turn on this feature, Gmail uses Gears to download a local cache of your mail. As long as you're connected to the network, that cache is synchronized with Gmail's servers. When you lose your connection, Gmail automatically switches to offline mode, and uses the data stored on your computer's hard drive instead of the information sent across the network. You can read messages, star and label them, and do all of the things you're used to doing while reading your webmail online. Any messages you send while offline will be placed in your outbox and automatically

Juniper SSL VPN IVE Firmware remote upgrade bug

There is a known bug to Juniper & did not find much about it online, the bug doesn't allow you to perform a remote Firmware upgrade to your Juniper SSL VPN device (IVE) if the firmware is 6.1R1. If you have a later firmware you may not be subjected to this bug, and please note "may" as per Juniper the bug is there with later versions up to 6.2r3, but Actually when I tried with the 6.2R3 firmware the remote upgrade worked smoothly. If you have Juniper IVE firmware 6.1R1 and you try to upgrade your firmware remotely it will not work, it will give you a Error Close message box with a broken Browser page. to overcome this problem, you need to connect your laptop to the same switch as the Juniper SSL VPN gate (IVE) and do the firmware upgrade.

People Search Engine or When you want to search for peopl

Image
A New approach is found these days, and I see it due to the rise of Social Networking steam. People Search, several sites now allows you to search people. I see them not more than a utilization for Google Search Engine but directed toward Social Networking sites and some google keyword utilization . 1) Spock I see it much better than Pipl, and let Google dependent, multiple sources and aggregation to cull as much information as it can about a subject. In addition to indexing information from various news sites and social networks, Spock has a variety of notifications options available. Like 123people (below), Spock supports email notifications of changes to a person search, but you can also subscribe to an RSS feed for your search. 2) Pipl Pipl is tenacious people-search engine. Pipl's claim to fame is the depths to which it can plumb the "deep web" to find information. When you search for a person using Pipl, you're not limited to a simple white pages search. Pipl s

Is Google an Ethical Employer ? Google Employment the Myth

Image
Lots of people talk about how good it is to work for Google, I have through the interview with google, and due to the NDA I can not write the details,but what I can say that It was not good neither acceptable. I used to work for big names all my life many of them share the same bad things with google ,but the post that I have been through recently tells alot about how bad it is to work for Google. Still I just share with you what I have read quoted below" In 2008 Google HR set up a private Google Group to ask former employees why they left the company. We’ve been forwarded what appears to be authentic posts to the thread by a number of ex-Googlers, which we reprint below minus identifying information other than their first names. The thread shows a brutal honesty about what it’s like to work at Google, at least from the point of view of employees who were unhappy enough to resign. Top amongst the complaints is low pay relative to what they could earn elsewhere, and disappearing f

Yahoo releases a service like Google Analytics

Now is my first time to know that Yahoo has a service similar to Google Analytics ?!!! the difference I can see so far that Yahoo! Analytics gives real time traffic tracking of your website. Yahoo! Web Analytics will be made available to a wide range of Yahoo!'s customers, partners, developers and advertisers in stages throughout the rest of 2008 and into 2009. that is another difference I see from Google Analytics as you can use Google Analytics even if you are not part of Adsense Network but Yahoo! restrict your Access to Yahoo! analytics only to their Customer, Advertisers.

Seagate has announced that it will showing off "the world's first consumer product application of USB 3.0" at this year's CES. The USB 3.0 demo itself will feature a Seagate FreeAgent external HDD kitted out with a Symwave -built USB 3.0 storage controller. "Symwave is honoured to be working with Seagate in this show of the first USB 3.0 solution in a real world application of data backup, storage and media streaming," said Yossi Cohen, president and CEO of Symwave. 10 times faster than USB 2.0 It's a big leap forward for USB 3.0, which was only rubber-stamped last November at the SuperSpeed USB Developer's Conference.The new specification promises to be 10 times faster than the current USB 2.0 standard, which has a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbits/sec. In comparison, USB 3.0 can reach the dizzy heights of 5 Gbit/sec, making it ideal for large file transfers. Symwave also suggests that USB 3.0 will use less power than its forebear and will rema
