Gmail 20MB Maximum Attachment Size Limit 2007-05-25 23:03:00 Gmail has doubled up the maximum attachment size from 10MB to 20MB, allowing users to send larger files of up to 20 MB (probably a bit less than that due to encoding) especially those space hungry pictures, photos, images, MP3s, musics, songs, videos and other multimedia contents. 20 MB attachment in each email is also a faster way to fill up 2.8GB Gmail provided, which seems like always unable to fill up.The only problem in 20MB attachment size limit is that not all email providers support such a large attachment size. Other popular email services such as Yahoo! Mail and Windows Live Hotmail are only allowing 10MB for attachment size. So your email with larger than 10MB attachments will probably bounced back due to over limit error. However, you can safely emailing big attachments between Gmail users, where number of it keeps growing everyday anyway.Click Here For more details>>>>> Read more:Gmail

IBM ThinkPad Think Vantage Active Protection System 1.52 2007-05-21 10:44:00 IBM has released its ActiveProtectionSystem
(APS) Version 1.52 for its notebooks using ThinkVantage
Techonologies. IBM’s Active Protection System is not the latest technology from IBM. ThinkPad R50 and T41 have featured this technology for quite some time. The APS is a protection system for the ThinkPads’ internal hard drive. When a ThinkPad notebook is accelerated, the sensor inside the notebook will trigger a software applet to park the hard disk properly. The risk of data loss will be reduced in the event the notebook is dropped hard. This is because the read/write head of the hard drive is parked and it won’t crash onto the platter when the notebook drops. The working principle of this protection system is parallel to the air bag function for cars. IBM ThinkPad ThinkVantage Active Protection System 1.52 can be used for Window 2000, Window XP and Window Vista. This version supports the ability to modify the pen delay time in the APS Control Panel. It also solves the problem Read more:IBM

Trick to View Pay TV without Paying 2007-05-19 23:33:00 Have you ever imagine that you can view the Pay TV in hotel while you are away from home without paying a single cent for that? Here I will share the trick that I have been using while traveling in most of the countries. It works most of the time and I enjoyed watching some ‘special’ channels without paying extra.Basically, the signals from Cable TV service provider will go through coaxial cable to the hotel room. These signals will actually pass through the decoder before being decoded and displayed on TV. In fact the Cable TV channels, which originally in VHF band will be encoded to a certain frequency in UHF band. And if you are the cable TV subscriber, your TV or VCR can tune to the specific frequency to watch the cable TV channels.The trick here is if you can bypass the decoder, by any means of connecting the coaxial input from the wall directly to you TV, then you can use your TV remote control to scan through the VHF band and view most of the Cable TV channels without proble Read more:Trick

Review: Nokia N76 - Thin and Smart 2007-05-29 06:21:00 Nokia introduced their first Symbian S60 folder phone more than a year ago, and since then they have been trying to trim its size. The result is the new N76 that they put forward this year. Thanks to Nokia Hong Kong, we had the chance to check out the final production model of the N76 before it's widely available.The N76 is probably not the most attractive phone out there, but you've got to say that it is sleek. Design wise it seems to have everything that the market likes today: an external display that hides behind a mirrored finish, a row of backlighted music buttons on the front, and a metallic finish around the buttons and camera on the back. The thing is, they just don't look right when put together. The N76 measures 106.5mm x 53mm x 13.7mm (4.2" x 2.1" x .5") in size, which makes it thin for a folder by both smartphone and non-smartphone standards. Because of its thinness, the N76 is very pocket friendly. At 53mm in width, though, it might be a bit wide for smaller hands.Th Read more:Nokia
