Creepy Gmail

Searching for the term 'Gmail' on Google is a bad idea. It just creeps me out. I've found out that Gtray is pretty useful, but unfortunately it doesn't work with Firefox. G-Mailto looks interesting, but it overrides the default action ...

Gmail at last

I have Gmail! All thanks to Asa's invitation link. I got started and really like it a lot. The interface is neat and clean. 'Conversations' sounds like a very innovative idea. I never actually try out most features, such as ...

Winstripe Stoppage

It's time for another detective work. Today, I focus on the Stop icon. It's quite a controversial icon, because it always interferes with other icons such as Delete, Close and Error. All of them are practically designed with the 'X' ...
