Your Google Voice number is tied to you rather than a device or a location, so it stays with you as you move, change jobs, or switch phone companies. Your forwading phones may change but your Google number remains the same, so you don't need to send out updates all the time about new numbers to reach you at.But we also realize that there are times where you might want to change your Google number. ...

Google Open Source Blog informs that Google Update, the software used by Google Chrome and other applications for automatic updates, no longer runs in the background. "Until now, Google Update would always run in the background, functioning primarily as a reliable scheduler performing update checks at periodic time intervals. With today's release, Google Update now uses the Windows Task Scheduler to only run at periodic intervals."I've checked the Task Scheduler and I've found that Google ...

I love labels in Gmail. Most email programs use folders, which only let me put mail in one place at a time. With labels, I can organize mail in multiple ways. Combined with filters to automatically label incoming messages, Gmail offers powerful ways to organize email.When I joined the Gmail team, I was surprised to learn that only 29% of Gmail users had created any labels. At first, I thought perhaps conversation threading and search ...

Gmail's transition to labels-that-look-and-act-like-folders is finished: you can now use drag-and-drop to label messages. Labels no longer live in their own container and they're displayed below the built-in labels: inbox, spam, trash, etc.To make room for other features, Gmail only displays the most frequently used labels and hides the other labels behind a "more" dropdown. The list of labels is now customizable: you can hide built-in labels and some of your labels, while changing their ...

Well I really like this, unfortunately it seems to have (rather predictably) broken some 3rd party add-ons (& a labs feature) but dragging commonly used labels to emails like sticking postit notes to things is a more natural interface than having to go through a menu, tick boxes and click 'Apply' :-)

Explain why DBAs don’t like cursors. I like to phrase this interview question this way because ...
