Friday, September 5, 2008
Back in June we reported about the launch of the handy new Gmail Labs experimental feature settings for Gmail. At the time the features weren’t enabled for Google Apps hosted Gmail accounts unfortunately, leaving those of us using Google Apps Gmail pouting silently. I just noticed today that Labs now seems to be enabled on Google [...]

Thursday, August 14, 2008
Looks like after August 11th Gmail outtage things went down again today around 1:45pm PST. Even though Gmail typically offers a 99% uptime, for some reason the few times it’s down I want to tear my hair out. Update #1: 5mins later it seems to be up again… but this happened on the 11th as well, [...]

Saturday, June 7, 2008
Laurence Hartje sent in the heads up that it looks like Google has launched Gmail Labs, an effort to soft-launch experimental (beta) features for Gmail in a sort of sandbox that you can quickly enable or disable depending on if you want that feature or not.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why Google doesn’t just add a stupid button to Gmail for this, but anyway… The tip here is how to find all your unread emails in Gmail. Let’s say you aren’t interested in the label on the mail, who it’s from or anything… you just want a [...]

Wednesday, November 21, 2007
Ummm… am I the only one noticing this and going fucking nuts by it? Ever since Gmail “2.0″ rolled out with it’s amazingly new-exactly-the-same interface design and tweaked code to make it seem snappier, it has regularly been locking up Firefox for me… in the middle of work… killing off everything I’m doing. This is [...]

Laurence Hartje sends in an interesting post from BoyGeniusReport that Google has slowly started rolling out the Gmail 2.0 release that we mentioned back in September. Aparently if you have access to the new Gmail 2.0, you can turn it on using a toggle that is sitting between your Settings and Help menu items up on [...]

Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Holy mother-bitches… Chris Hunkele just sent in the scoop that it looks like Gmail is finally adding IMAP support. Something I’m almost certain they’ve had sitting in the wings for more than a year now, but with the release of gPhone looming, my guess this begins the beta of IMAP support while will eventually be [...]

Monday, September 24, 2007
Looks like some internal testing of Gmail 2.0 has leaked information that it’s currently undergoing translation. Who knows what kind of release date that translates to, or if we’ll be able to see some screenshots, but I know I dig the new management interface for Google Docs, so I imagine Gmail 2.0 will be quite [...]

Thursday, September 21, 2006
Well we just got my wife’s new Palm TX in the mail and I have to say, I see why this thing continually gets 5/5 scores on all the reviews I read (highest rated mainstream PDA on Newegg, Circuit City and Amazon). It’s got this awesome metal/bluish finish to it. I’m browsing the web over [...]
