Google earth comes back with a bang

It has been a very long time since i explored Google earth since its inception. When i today downloaded the latest version did i come to know that Earth is the least possible places to be explored by Google.
It has mapped the constellations, the Universe, Moon, Mars and what not. Even if you want a 3 D tour of a place, all you need to do is search it and then wait...what a beautiful work they have done..

I just love Google..

Bored on earth, visit Mars

Do you sometimes get tired and bored of life? Do you sometimes want to escape from the face of earth?
Heres how.. Google has started exploring faces of Mars planet (i come to know just now), where you can have a 3 D view of the planet and have archived views of the planet starting in 1800's and you can even view the latest images through NASA's giant telescopes. To have a brief idea, click here Explore Mars

Heres a visible 2D photograph of Mars planet as seen through Google Labs

I am just a newbie in this regard.. will explore Mars and let you know soon on the possibilities of expanding business (just kidding)

Insert image instead of sending as attachment in Gmail

Once again, Google has proved its user friendliness in its product. Many of us might have wondered how images are inserted inline with text in Mails, instead of sending them as attachment. Until the Google Labs thing started, i used a simple trick to get the images embedded right into the mail. Let me describe it in steps..

Step 1: Ensure you have Picassa installed on your PC
Step 2: Right click on the image and click "Upload to Web album" (you may require to Sign in)
Step 3: Once uploaded into Picassa web folder name " Drop in", a new link to the Picassa folder will open in the browser
Step 4: Copy the image using mouse, as in you copy the whole text.
Step 5: Paste the image into the mail where you were composing.
Viola!! Your image is inserted right into the mail

Now that Google labs has enabled a plugin where in you can directly do the same from Gmail
You can do so as below


Step 1: Login to your GMail account.
Step 2:  Go to “settings”
Step 3:  Go to “labs”
Step 4: Search for “Inserting Images” and enable it.
Step 5: Drag and drop an image into the compose area...
(Uploading of image will take time, according to the image size)
