Facebook has setup "The AV Marketplace", where it is offering these antivirus products for free. Now, these are not free forever.

Gmail Now has 10 GB of Free Storage Space

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 09:00 AM PDT


Gmail is one of the most popular email service. It gained popularity initially because it offered much more free space that its close competitors. And it kept increasing the free space down the line. Till a few days back, Gmail used to come with a whopping 7.5 GB of free space. That's quite a lot of space to hold your emails.

Now Google has increased that even further. Google announced yesterday that Gmail will now come with 10 GB of free storage space. You don't need to do anything at your end to get this extra free storage; Google will automatically upgrade that for you shortly.

Gmail Logo

This is a great news for those who were on verge of exhausting their free storage space on Gmail. We earlier reviewed a tool that helps you to find large emails in Gmail, so that you can selectively delete them and regain some free space. Now, you might not need to do that, as you have a full 2.5 GB of extra free storage space.

This does leaves me with a question: If Google is offering 10 GB of free storage space on Gmail, why only 5 GB on Google Drive? Shouldn't a service that is supposed to hold files, videos, photos, etc. offer more space than a service that just stores email?

However, this article is about Gmail, and I want extend my thanks to Google for increasing the storage space on Gmail to 10 GB. Now if only Google does that with Google Drive too……

Free Reminder Alert Software for Windows: Concenturio

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 08:00 AM PDT


Concenturio is a free software which is capable of reminding you your tasks just as in any mobile phones. It is absolutely free to download and use.

Reminders is a common feature that comes in with any mobile phone. If that is possible in a mobile phone then why not in a Laptop? With the same idea Concenturio is developed. It is the very same reminder alert that you can find in any mobile phone but Concenturio comes with amazingly cool features that lack in your mobile phone!

Concenturio Home

Features of this reminder software:

Concenturio works in these two basic modes:

  • Single Task
  • Task List

Single Task will alert or remind you about only one work. It takes one job at a time, where as in Task List you can add unlimited amount of reminders. All of them will be active at the same time and will be reminded when they are due. In task list you can add recurring reminders and non-recurring reminders.

Concenturio Task List

Concenturio Reminder Window

Besides these basic features Concenturio gives you an array of optimizations. The most coolest is that you can set any audio file in your hard disk as the alert tone. You can type texts that will appear in alert window. The timing of reminder can be set in two ways. First will be like "in so many minutes from now" and second is the normal method of setting the time in the clock. Suppose if a reminder set already is not reminded because at the due time either the system was in shut down state or the Concenturio was not running then Concenturio alerts all those missed reminders with their appropriate time when the system is switched on or Concenturio is started. You can also make Concenturio start when windows starts.

Compatibility & Installation

Concenturio is compatible with the following operating systems:

  • Windows 2000 SP 4
  • Windows XP
  • Windows 2003
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 2008
  • Windows 7

The software installation is very simple and installs quickly without any problems. The user interface is very simple and straight enough to be understood at the first glance. The application can be minimized at any time to the system tray and can be restored from there at any time. Concenturio automatically checks for any updates at startup so that you always stay latest! When tested the software worked without any problems and functioned very well. No crashes or possible miss timed alerts are reported.

Use Concenturio and never forget important events again!
