A Brief History of Time

December 15th 2007

Original “A Brief History of Time” A Brief History of time - 10th Anniversary

According to Stephen Hawking (it’s author) it is a book that gives a light about cosmology to the common citizen. It in fact did, and it was also on the London Sunday Times best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. “I’m surprised that it is one of the most sold books ever after the bible” said Hawking. I read this book around eight years ago and it changed my life at some extend. I was somehow influenced by it and I studied “Applied Chemistry” for two years. After that I decided to study another aspect of the “future”. I took my masters in Computer Science and Engineering but forever this will be a book that means something to me. I recommend everyone to read it because it gives you a nice perspective of how is the universe seen by a brilliant mind.

I read the 10th Year Anniversary :) .

Some of the Gmail new features…

December 12th 2007

As some of you already know Gmail launched very cool features recently. I decided today to share a bit about what’s new on Gmail..

Did you guess? Well, apart from the many already popular features and +5.5GB storage now Gmail launched the colorful tabs and AIM is now fully integrated with Gmail and you can start adding your contacts right now.

Group chat and emotions! Now you can talk to people, share your mood and your feelings even better.

Another thing that I particularly needed is IMAP. And again, all you need is to visit this link to know everything how to set it up! All this information is public and is available on the Gmail Help Center.
