Offline Gmail takes Google Gears into account and turns your inbox into an offline email client. Here you can do pretty much anything you do online, such as browse through your mail, add labels, draft new messages and even prepare a message and send it out when you go back online. Another great feature is that Google automatically detects if you’re online or not, so it keeps everything in sync.

When enabled in Google Labs, Multiple Inboxes can display up to 8 different labels or searches next to your actual inbox, so you can keep an eye on incoming messages as well as labeled ones. To get started, go to settings then navigate to the Multiple Inboxes tab, then set your preferences.

If I wanted to see incoming messages labelled Ebay, I would enter is:Ebay (or the label of your choice). Here are some other examples of multiple inboxes that you can use.

is:starred [Starred items]

is:drafts [Drafted items]

has:attachment [All emails that have an attachment]

is:unread [All unread messages]

You can even combine these, for example you could have all unread messages with attachments. Post some of the multiple inboxes you are using in the comments, we’d love to see them!

By now, most of you are thinking I’m one crazy person, because who returns a perfectly good Touch?

The reason being is that all I’ll be using it for is a bulky $350 music player (with a touch screen).

Don’t get me wrong, this was one of the coolest gadgets I’ve owned in a while, but the free games (not all of them) are some of the worst games I’ve played in my life.

In a couple of months I can just see it being used only as a music player, so that’s why I bought the $150 8GB Nano.

Honestly, I don’t regret a thing. I’ve talked to many iPod Touch users, and they actually agreed to my decision. It’s really only for show, just like the MacBook Air.

Now talking about the iPod Nano, the battery life is great, it’s been about a week and a half and I still haven’t had to charge it up yet (almost a quarter of the battery left).

The interfaces and menus are great, slim design and the large screen is great for watching videos.

Post comments about what you think about the iPod Touch or the iPod Nano, and which one you think is better and why.

I’m currently working on the design, as well as some pages. The link will be released soon!

Hope this will be a great experience for everyone!

Hope you apply for a position as an author!

I was thinking we could start a blog, and post about anything.

As you probably noticed, on my WordPress blog, the theme I use allows me to have different pages. We could separate these pages into different sections, such as computers, music, sports, film making ect. (If you have any more suggestions for different categories, please levae a comment or email me at: Feedback.ScratchedChalk@gmail.com)

Now, I would invite authors to join me in this blogging proccess, assigning them to their specified page(s) (email me about what categorie(s) you would like to blog in).

If you do want to become an author, here are some things worth considering:

1. If you are writting an article on a piece of software, for example, Audacity. You may NOT plagarise or copy someone else’s work.

2. If you’re embedding a YouTube video in your post, and it’s not yours, you must state the link of the video and the proper owner of the video.

3. To be accepted as an author, you must send me (either through email or on YouTube) a sample of an article you would want to write.

——————

If this becomes a major blog, I will have it self hosted, and create a site out of it, complete with a forum and some other interesting aspects.

Once again, feel free to either PM me on YouTube or Email me for questions/applications for becoming an author.

Just a few days ago, I made a video showing some of the features of Skype, fairly basic, mostly for the newer group of people who have just downloaded Skype. Most of you have probably have probably already heard of Skype, but if you already haven’t downloaded it, this video might just convince you.

You can download Skype HERE

After some researching, I came across WordPress, which I will be soon converting to my own domain name.

Now my principle question to all you viewers, which blog should my main blog be? (I’ll still be using both, but which ever one you choose, I’ll post more content on.)

The tests

You can read up on our testing methods in their entirety at the original testing feature. I’ve come to realize, however, that between all three rounds of testing involved, the “8-page load” test may be the most vulnerable to variables—some of the pages included are quite dynamic, so if, say, Gizmodo puts up a large number of videos or huge pictures, it could affect the total loading time. Other than that, though, the page-loading tests are run by a human watching a timer, the JavaScript from Sean Patrick Kane’s web test, the CSS from a downloadable form, and memory use from checking Windows Vista’s Task Manager.

Test 1: Page Loading—Winner: Opera (9.5)!

No surprise that Opera 9.6′s beta performed just as well as the official release, on start-ups both both cold (right after boot-up) and warm (having launched at least once). I’m heartened to see comparable results between the first batch of browsers I tested and their newer betas.

The next speed test, loading eight pages from a bookmark folder, left me scratching my head. Why did the newer betas take so much longer to load a similar set of pages? As stated above, my best guess is the dynamic nature of at least one page in the group, but Opera was tested separately from the other betas, and didn’t gain much in speed.

Test 2: JavaScript & CSS—Winner: Safari! (by a nose)

It’s hard to beat Safari’s performance in both Cascading Style Sheets and the JavaScript code that fronts so many webapps. It has to be noted, however, that most browsers, other than Internet Explorer, don’t out-run one another by a huge stretch in JavaScript; Chrome and Safari, though, pull ahead on CSS.

Test 3: Memory Use—Winner: Firefox!

It’s reassuring that Mozilla puts so much effort into memory usage in Firefox 3 releases—seeing as how most readers of this site are more than open to extension suggestions.
