Have you ever been in a situation when you need to send an email to your client or a friend and you need to send it a very specific time but because of limited Internet use (or maybe you will not be able to be online at that specific time tomorrow), you totally forgot to send it? Don’t you just wish you can schedule your Gmail messages?

Sad to say, there is no Gmail feature that allows you to schedule your messages. But the good news is that there is a free application that you can take advantage of to schedule your email messages and send it when you want it even if you are not online.

You can download Boomerang right in your PC and install this feature directly to your Gmail. Download will take less than a minute and can be done if you are using Google Chrome or a Mozilla Firefox browser. Once you downloaded this add-on, it will appear right at the top right corner of your Gmail ready for you to use.

Aside from scheduling your mail for sending at a later time, it also allows you to postpone receiving messages so they can come out as a new message at your desired time. You can choose options such as send “tomorrow morning” which will send the email at a random time in the morning or set a specific date and time when you want your message to be sent.

The downside of this nifty application is that it is only available with Gmail via Chrome and Firefox. You also need to grant access to your Gmail for Boomerang to work. This simple plug-in is a useful tool for those who needs it and for those who mainly use their email for work correspondence. Give it a try and you might find it features useful too!

While doing some research, I found out that there is also www.gmail.it , a website that gives paid email service but not in any way connected to www.gmail.com , But for sure soon this site will be transferred to Google, since Gmail is patented to Google. But nobody know what could happen.IMHO Google is not yet concentrated to is not yet concentrated to Italian Market. According to their site www.gmail.it is a complete Italian website.

Below translation is made through Google translate and this is how they greet their prospective client :

Welcome to Gmail.it!
Are you tired of viruses and spam? Keep your privacy?
Try our services e-mail – Completely Italian – Protected from viruses and spam.
Your data is safe – will not be sold or disclosed to others – your e-mail will not be used for promotional mailings.
Your e-mail address will not be drawn in any way – analyzed – indexed – disclosed or subjected to other types of scans or for commercial purposes or statistical control.

I have not tried their system and I don’t know how it works.

Adrian ‘pagvac’ Pastor, a security researcher with GNUCitizen.org, on Friday posted proof-of-concept code that can inject a third-party page — a fake login page in Pastor’s example — while the user’s browser address bar still displays the Google domain. This could dupe the user into entering login details.

"The beauty of frame injection attacks is that the attacker is able to impersonate a trusted entity without needing to bypass XSS/HTML filters or even break into the target server," Pastor explained on the GNUCitizen site.

In a related blog post on Friday, security researcher Aviv Raff explained that Google is vulnerable to "a cross-domain Web-application sharing security design flaw."

And According to the news this flaw has been seen since April and Google is not yet taking any action.

"Today, after not getting any further response from the Google security team about this issue, and after Adrian published his proof-of-concept, I’ve decided to reveal this information in a hope that this security design flaw will be fixed by Google as soon as possible," said Raff.

In reference to the proof-of-concept, a Google spokesperson said, "We’re aware of the potential for this kind of behavior when services are hosted across multiple domains, and we take steps to restrict it where we believe it may have security consequences."

Well Google has to explain this one on their official site, so that their E-mail user will feel comfortable on using their Free E-mail. And Did you know that E-mails can be tracked ?. So better keep a hard copy or printed copy of those E-mails that needs protection such as username and passwords that still resides in your mailbox. Better transfer it to your PC for safe keeping purpose. Better to that or be sorry later on. What if they hack our AdSense Earnings ? So Be Careful .

After I have blogged about the recent update by friendfeed for iPhone users, Google Talk have just announced their new iPhone interface.

We’ve just released in the US a new version of Google Talk designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch browsers. In addition to sending your friends Gmail messages from your iPhone, you can now chat with them while you’re on the move, too! In your iPhone browser, just go to www.google.com/talk, sign in and start chatting. That’s it. Google Talk runs entirely in the browser so there’s no need to download or install anything.

There are some differences from using Google Talk on your computer. For instance, in order to receive instant messages with Google Talk on your iPhone, the application needs to be open in your Safari browser. When you navigate away to another browser window or application, your status will be changed to “unavailable” and your Google Talk session will be restarted when you return.

Other than that, we’ve tried to keep the design as faithful to the desktop experience as possible, so it should be familiar to you. You can select from a quicklist of the people you contact most, search your contacts, and manage multiple conversations. You’ll never have to miss out on the latest gossip or updates from friends just because you’re away from a computer.

More and More updates are being done specifically with iPhone, Lately I have not heard any improvements about the Windows Mobile Platform, Is it because there are lot of application for it already or is it because the Tech Hipe now adays is iPhone Mobile, Will Apple release another iPhone type Mobile ?  With the intense news about iPhone, I think Apple is now again looking for another project that will fall under the iPhone Family.

Just for information I went yesterday to Riyadh City Center, and the Apple iPhone cost 2,400 Riyals ( Php 28,160 )

Anyway I will let you know if I can get that domain name. The Domain Name was not renewed since November 28,2007. I don’t know until when I will wait. I just paid $ 70.00 for 2 years. If in case they will renew it I will have to get another domain name since my payment is non refundable.

I just hope they will not renew it in the next 40 days. I think the grace period is only 3 months. Am I right or wrong ?. Below is the picture that shows it is expired
