Gmail Chat and Labels Get New Home
I like that Google continues to innovate and try to improve things, and today I read New in Labs: Right-side Labels and Chat where Emily Chang, a Gmail Engineer, unveils a cool new Gmail feature in Gmail Labs – Right-side Labels and Chat which lets you set your labels and/or your chat window to the right hand side of Gmail.
Gmail Right-side Settings
The other day I’d read New in Labs: 3 experiments with labels and enabled Navbar drag and drop which lets you arrange your NavBar. I was a bit disappointed at its lack of flexibility, but today I’ve happily turned it off and enabled both Right-side chat and Right-side labels. Give it a shot… Login to Gmail, click Settings, then the Labs tab, then scroll down and click enable by both or either of these features you want to turn on, then click Save changes at the bottom.
Anyway, now my Gmail looks like this:

Xbox Live Chat Etiquette – Whiners, Really?
about 1 month ago - No comments
Xbox Live can be a great enjoyment, and headsets with microphone that plug into your controller allow in-game chat which, for me as I play a lot of Gears of War 3 Team Death Matches (TDM) lately, just makes gameplay cooler. The idea of the chat feature in TDM or other team-based games is to

Gmail is cooler in the cloud. Literally. Google’s point is that cloud-based services (which are ever more popular) use less energy than their traditional counterparts. Of course, their post doesn’t make such a broad claim, they focus on some of their services and also said: Cloud computing is secure, simple, keeps you productive and saves
