The Google Adsense team has been working behind to scenes to give publishers better control on their sites. Your single Adsense account can be used to display your ads across several websites. This is an excellent feature since you don’t need to manage multiple accounts for multiple sites. In the new feature released, you have much better control via the “Site Management” section. While this feature is being rolled out to users globally, other users can still authorize which sites they want to display ads and earn revenue from. To add and claim which sites you wish to show ads…

Last month, Gmail rolled out the new compose interface. Today the Gmail team released a new feature to compliment this. If you’re using the new compose window, within the next few days, you should be able to see a new button that lets you quickly link to files stored in your Google Drive. The current limits are around 25MB, so this will allow you to send files up to 400 times the size! Your recipients will always have access to the latest file since this is stored in your Google Drive. The interface is smart enough to check for permissions…

Gmail’s advanced search feature is extremely powerful. I usually use this for for searching for emails from recipients or with certain labels. Today, Gmail rolled out a new feature on searching through your emails. This feature allows you to search for attachments of a particular size and from a particular period. This means, for example, to find emails larger than 5MB, you can search for size:5m or larger:5m or to find emails sent over a year ago, older_than:1y. Do you find the feature useful. For me searching for attachments would be much less used. But, I would most likely be…

If you’ve purchased Windows 8 Pro, then for a limited period, you can get the new Windows 8 Media Center completely free! Simply visit the Add Features page on the Windows site before 31 January 2013 and you can get a serial code completely free emailed…

Composing emails in a desktop client like Thunderbird or Postbox allows you switch back and forth between windows easily. Look up your other emails for reference or just let the Compose window sit in the background while you check new mail.

It works the same way as chats allowing you to write multiple messages at once and minimise a message to finish it later or browse through your email which sits…
