Undo Send lets you unsend that email

March 24th, 2009

Ever sent an email to the wrong person, or sent an email a little too hastily? If you are using GMail, you might want to enable this new GMail Labs feature.

Simply click on the GMail Labs tab under Settings and scroll down until you see the Undo Send labs feature. Click the Enable radio button, and click Save Settings (at the top or bottom of the page).

You’re all done! Now when you send a message, you will have a few seconds to grab back that email before it is sent for good.

Download of the Day: Taskix

December 9th, 2008

Have you ever wanted to reorder your Windows Taskbar? Well then, Taskix is the perfect program for you.

Afraid that this program, no matter how nifty it is, will bog down your computer? Don’t worry!
Taskix sets your RAM back only 865 KB when running in the background for five hours straight, and the dinky 80 KB download from the website hardly takes up any space on your hard drive at all. Sounds great? Well it doesn’t end there! Taskix also DOES NOT REQUIRE TO BE INSTALLED. That’s right! Just dump it somewhere you can remember and it’s a done deal. Simple!

Before Taskix program is in effect, I am thoroughly frustrated
