After more than five years as a publicly available test version, Gmail
shed its beta label in July. Now one feature key to the Net giant's
cloud-computing aspirations, offline access to Gmail, also has grown up
less than a year after its debut.
"Offline Gmail is graduating from Labs and becoming a regular part of
Gmail," Google programmer Aaron Whyte announced the change Monday in a
blog post.
Offline Gmail support, which relies on a Google browser plug-in called
Gears, lets people read, search, organize, and compose e-mail even when
there's no Net connection; sent messages are queued up in an outbox for
delivery when the network access is restored and the account on the
computer can resynchronize with the server.
"Offline Gmail has proven particularly useful for business and schools
making the switch to Google Apps from traditional desktop mail
clients--they're used to being able to access their mail whether or not
they're online, and Offline Gmail brings this functionality right to the
browser," Whyte said.
Google Apps, a bundle that includes Gmail, Google Calendar, and the
Google Docs suite of online applications, is available for free for
educational users or smaller organizations. Premiere accounts cost $50
per person per year, and Chief Executive Eric Schmidt called such
enterprise-oriented services Google's "next big billion-dollar opportunity."
Gears is built into Google's Chrome browser, but other browsers rely on
a plug-in. However, Google has stopped developing Gears in favor HTML5's
equivalent features. That overhaul of the standard for displaying Web
page includes local data storage on a computer as one feature, and it's
now enabled by default in Chrome even though HTML5 isn't a final
standard yet.
Updated 1:45 p.m. PST and 5:46 p.m. PST: For some Mac OS X 10.6 Snow
Leopard users, Gears doesn't work, hampering use of Offline Gmail.
Google initially said Tuesday that Gears doesn't work on Snow Leopard
but later amended its statement, narrowing the problem to Apple's Safari
browser.
"It turns out that Gears does work on Firefox for Snow Leopard and
Leopard, though it still doesn't work on Safari," Google spokesperson
Victoria Katsarou said. "There was a bug that was preventing Gears from
downloading on Snow Leopard, but we're fixing it and at we'll be
updating our Help Center article and Download page to reflect the change."
She declined to comment on when or even if an HTML5-based version of
offline Gmail might arrive.
Offline Gmail didn't even work Tuesday in the new Chrome for Mac beta
version. Gears is built into Chrome, but trying to enable offline Gmail
with the browser yields a "browser not supported" error message.
For the rest of you, here are Google's instructions for getting set up
with offline Gmail:
1. Click the "Settings" link in the top-right corner of Gmail.
2. Click the "Offline" tab.
3. Select "Enable Offline Mail for this computer."
4. Click "Save Changes" and follow the directions from there.

Offline Gmail access now a full-fledged feature
Dell earns $6.5 million, thanks to Twitter
Those who say that Twitter is nothing more than a place where people
share inconsequential experiences in their lives might want to listen
up. Dell told Bloomberg on Tuesday that it has earned an estimated $6.5
million in sales of PCs, accessories, and software, thanks to promotions
on Twitter.
Dell's vice president for the company's online unit, Manish Mehta, told
Bloomberg that over the past three months alone, the number of people
who have started following Dell's tweets has risen 23 percent. The
company's DellOutlet account, which is home to most of the vendor's
sales announcements, currently has almost 1.5 million followers. But
unlike some companies, Dell has made Twitter an integral part of its
operation. Bloomberg reported that "more than 100 employees send out the
tweets" to customers.
"It's a very vibrant channel for us and it's growing aggressively,"
Mehta told Bloomberg, referring to Twitter. "It's not just our reach and
growth that has progressed, it's that it's happening globally."
Mehta told Bloomberg that its Twitter accounts are followed by people in
12 countries. Brazil users alone spent $800,000 in the past eight
months, he said.

STRATEGIC TIME MANAGEMENT
Since time is an important factor in all that we do, it is but logical that its proper management would contribute towards success in all areas of our life; hence the adage: time is life.
One’s perspective and paradigm regarding time and its management is at the core of how one handles his/her time. “I don’t need time management training,” once a person said, “look, I am always on time.” This is actually correct according to his understanding of time management as he was equating time management with punctuality.
A naval officer said: “Two things come to my mind when I think of time management: speed and element of surprise”. This complex perspective will define how this officer will manage his time.
Acknowledging that people have different perspectives, we have developed a unique perspective and paradigm of time management which differentiates our workshop from others.
- The unique paradigm of the STM workshop
To explain the paradigm, let me introduce you to three simple concepts: vision, purpose and the balancing of different roles in life.
Vision is defined as the picture of the future that we would like to see. It can be short term or long term.
If vision is the ‘what’ of the future (becoming a cardiac surgeon for example), then purpose is the ‘why’: the answer to why you want to become a cardiac surgeon in the first place.
We all regularly come across people with unclear visions and purposes, casting a deep shadow on their lives and making it difficult to define what they truly want.
We all have different roles in life: at our workplaces we may be employees, mentors and colleagues; at homes we may be sons, husbands and fathers; on the social level we may be members of charitable associations or sports clubs.
At times an imbalance appears in our roles: for example, Aslam is an excellent engineer but a poor boss; Farah is a fantastic artist but an inadequate mother; Ali is a good father but a poor neighbor.
Our paradigm of time management is:
“Having a clear vision and purpose in life and then utilizing our time to realize our vision while maintaining a balance in all of our roles.”
Built on this definition, our workshop goes beyond punctuality or doing more things in less time.
- How would this workshop help you?
This workshop will help you in many ways such as:
By understanding the importance of a clear vision in life, your focus on what you really want out of your life will increase.
Your decision making will become thoughtful and aligned to your vision.
By using state of the art planning concepts and tools, you would be able to reduce stress by eliminating the confusions that arise daily due to the fast moving world.
You would be better equipped to handle emergencies, urgencies and uncertainties in a more effective and thoughtful way.
You will increase your determination and then move on to the many things in life that have eluded you due to the lack of will and persistence.
Through effective prioritization you would be able to streamline your work by building efficiencies in your daily routines.
You would be able to have the inner peace and tranquility that comes from having a clearer meaning in life and to be striving towards a worthy and valuable vision.
If you are already working towards a worthy vision, this workshop will give you the invaluable tools to effectively translate your vision into reality.
