Drag and Drop attachments from gmail to desktop directly

Dear Readers,

Let me not write any stories for this post as it's self explanatory.

From now on you can directly drag and drop your attachments from the incoming emails on Gmail to your desktop. Once you receive any emails just drag the attachments to the desktop location where you want to save it for further use.

Happy surfing with Google.

Multiple Sign-on with your Gmail ID

Dear Readers,

I should be having at-least 10 different g-mail account for various point of contacts. I use filters in other accounts to forward other account emails to single account thru which i can manage all the 10 different accounts. We cannot blame on IE/Chrome/Mozilla for not allowing us to login with multi sign-in facility, it's purely with the email provider like Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail. 

Now it's time for me to say once again "I Love You Google!"

Gmail team has work around with various techniques and finally it's out with this feature. We are now allowed to switch between multiple id's that we have with Gmail. We need to turn the multiuser signon option.

Let's see how to setup?

1. Click on "Settings" on the top right corner.

2. Click on "Accounts and Import" tab.

3. Click on "Google Account Settings"  link near to "Change account settings"

4. Now select "Change" under "Multiple Sign-in" option and read the instruction carefully.

Not all the features are allowed to use. We have restriction with Offline & Calender option which are rarely used by many users.

Who is in your Wireless network?

Dear Readers,

Laptop users are increased worldwide and the world is now turned @ 3G/4G wireless networks. All these improvements are linked to the internet with the help of wireless media. 

We use routers for these type of connectivity. It's very important for us to know how many users are connected to our network and the traffic in our network. There are many chances that our passwords may be shared with others or some hackers can easily break our network connectivity to get into our network.

I always recommend my friends to grand access to the network by MAC-ID only. This way we can secure our network for some extend. To know the active users in our network we can have our routers software but these softwares doesn't work 100% to give the right details in that case we may need this to find who are the users connected into it.
