1. about:version

Displays the version number of your browser, along with the Webkit and the v8 Javascript Engine version. The user agent used by Google Chrome is also listed.

Do you spend a lot of time on a computer? Do you often note down / copy stuff down from web sites, emails or want to make a list of things to do for the day. Are you are a student or traveller who needs to note time when writing some thing down?

You can do all this without any fancy software. Here is a simple trick on how to create a simple Notepad file that automatically log (write) the time-stamp from the instant you open the file.
1. Open a blank Notepad file (Click: Start --> Click: Run --> Type: notepad.exe)

2. Type “.LOG” on the first line of the new document.

3. Save the file and close Notepad.

Now when you open the same file again, you’ll see that Notepad would have added the current Date and time to the document automatically.

Write your entry for the day and close the file. Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

Tip: you can press [F5] or use Edit --> Time/Date to display it manually.

Once again Gmail leaps to the head of the class, miles ahead of the rest. Google has launched a feature called “Gmail Priority Inbox” that sorts important messages for you based on various factors, including but not limited to:

1. Recurring keywords in emails you read
2. Frequent email exchanges
3. Your e-mail habits such as which emails you star, delete, archive and answer

You can also train the algorithm explicitly with the help of a +/- button. Based on this algorithm, Google then calculates a priority score for every email and will push the most important messages to the top of the list.

The new feature appears as a new menu item just above the “Inbox” link. Instead of indicating how many unread e-mails you have in your inbox, Priority Inbox only displays how many priority e-mails still require your attention. These appear at the top of Gmail as “Important and unread.”

Save time by using this feature and get your life back that you might have spent reading insignificant email.

What do you think of Priority Inbox? Let me know in the comments.

Gmail has enabled the drag and drop feature in their service. Now you can drag and drop attachments from your local computer to Gmail without ever hitting the attach button and then browsing for your file. Just open the folder which contains your file and drag the file to the compose mail box. Gmail would recognize your attachment and would come up with a message advising you to drop your file in the box. Just drop it and the file would be attached.

The Gmail Team plans to enable this feature on other browsers too, but currently it is only active on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.
