hanged the webmail game forever by offering features we now take for granted: a streamlined interface (界面]) , powerful search, pioneering use ofAjax and a then-huge 1 GB of mailbox space.“You'll never need to delete another message " was how Google described it at the time.
Back then, I was still making do with Hotmail.But its clumsy interface and tiny amount of storage space made the decision to move on an easy one.Getting an account made all the difference in the world to my email experience.Suddenly I was freed from having to delete emails every few days to make space in my mailbox.And the app(application) was smooth and responsive, like a desktop client (客户端程序)—and pretty fast in comparison to Hotmail." Conversation view" and using labels instead of folders took a little getting used to, but in all Gmail felt far more professional and made me much more productive.
Gmail is a favorite app of ours ever on WebWorkerDaily, and with good reason.It's still the best webmail client for web workers as it lets us access our email whenever and wherever we need to, on any device, with minimum effort.And Google hasn't spent the five years sitting on its Gmail success, either, but has introduced improvements to the service that include Gmail Tasks, chat, video chat and voice chat, combined with Google Calendar and Docs, Google Apps for Domains, and, of course, even more storage.We've recently covered the many features found in Gmail Labs: a way to "undo" seat messages, using canned responses for smart autoresponders, offline support using Gears and how to customize the way you.view your mailbox using multiple inboxes.

SEE a cell phone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting "print" on your computer.
You might find it hard to believe that you could actually "print" an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂)and certain metals. The thinner each layer is --- from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair --- the smoother and finer the object will be.
This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3-D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3-D printing industry--- printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost £20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now they cost only about £ 1,000, according to the BBC.
Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3-D printing can create just about anything you can think of ---flutes (笛子), bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3-D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
However, as 3-D printing becomes more commonplace, it may bring about certain problems --- such as piracy. "Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?" an expert in 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3-D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
