gAttach

gAttach! allows you to easily attach files to new messages in Gmail or Google Apps Mail. All the features available in Windows that were once only available to your desktop mail-using friends are now available to all Gmail users. gAttach! is the sister product to yAttach!, which is for Yahoo! Mail.

With gAttach!, you can:

• send emails directly from:
  • Windows Explorer
  • Microsoft Office
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • Windows Live Photo Gallery
  • Internet Explorer
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • .. and many more
• automatically attach files from your PC to a new email without manually uploading each file;
• choose to suppress the annoying standard text provided by Windows ("Your attachments are ready to send..");
• handle "mailto" email links in web pages.

gAttach! works in cooperation with Internet Explorer:

• If you're already logged into Gmail via Internet Explorer, gAttach! won't ask for any login details.
• If you're not logged in via Internet Explorer, gAttach! will show you a mini web browser to ask for your login details. gAttach! does not monitor or record your login details; it merely checks to see if you're already logged in and takes you to Google if you're not.

If you have any concerns, it is recommended that you log in to Gmail via Internet Explorer before attaching files. Make sure you choose the "Remember me on this computer" option. gAttach! will then never ask for your details.

Must Have - TreeSize Free

Dude, where's my disk space? For those with limited memory, the free, simple file minder shows you how disk space is allocated on your computer. Even better, it'll expose space-wasting folders in a Windows Explorer-like interface, where they're easy to delete.





Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize Free tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize Free can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize Free is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system, can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report. TreeSize Free is freeware for Windows 9x/2000/XP/Vista.

Google Sky

Wanna tour the galaxy in details? Well, the heavens are only a few mouse clicks away with Google Sky, a new feature in Google Earth. The company's satellite imagery-based mapping software allows users to view the sky from their computers.

This cool tool provides information about various celestial bodies, from stars to planets, and includes imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope and other sources. It also allows users to take virtual tours through galaxies, including the Milky Way, from any point on Earth they choose.

This software also promises users the ability to see planets in motion and witness a supernova. What's unique about Google Sky is that you have all the imaging data over the whole of the sky actually streaming, which means you can look at something that covers most of the sky, say our Milky Way galaxy, and you can zoom right into a tiny galaxy that's in the formation cycle.

Eye-Fi

An article from Anitha's Lifestyle And Shopping Blog. Visit my sister's blog at:

http://ennie2930.blogspot.com/

Have you ever looked at a digital camera full of photos and thought those photos aren't going to upload themselves? Well, now you can with the latest Eye-Fi.

Eye-Fi has created a memory card with a built-in WiFi transmitter that will automatically upload your photos to any of 17 photo sites when you are within range of a designated wireless network. The 2GB SD memory card looks like any other, but it has a small antenna and WiFi service inside.

The card must be in the supplied card reader and formatted to recognize the right network. If you use photo sharing site like Shutterfly, Flickr or Facebook, the card will send photos over the Internet to Eye-Fi, which then formats them for the site you use and it also automates sign-in and passwords so that your photos seem to appear magically.

The Eye-Fi card and reader is available online from Amazon and it can also be set up to send photos directly ti your computer, if you want to be selective about what gets shared.

The Babel Fish Translation Tool

Fancy getting your blog translated into various language around the world? Then Babel Fish Translation is the answer to it. The Babel Fish is actually a creature in the book 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. When placed in a person's ear, it allows him or her to understand any and all languages spoken.

The Babel Fish Translation tool uses machine translation technology to translate sentences in one language into another language and can translate either text or full pages from the internet. Machine translation on the other hand is a computer program which automatically analyzes the meaning of a sentence and attempts to produce a sentence in a different language which conveys the same meaning. No computer program can translate correctly 100% of the time, but machine translation is useful to get the basic ideas of a sentence.

To improve the accuracy of the text translations, make sure you use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation for the highest quality translations and avoid slang and use short, clear sentences.
