Quickies

The new feature rollout at Gmail trickled into my account this evening. Curiously, what exactly these new features are is presently unknown since Google is still not saying anything. What I can make out as new so far is the much needed Draft email facility and quick access to the address book on the main page itself. Also, Ctrl+Click (in Firefox) now opens links in new tabs without popping up new windows. One more - email forwarding!

There’s word going around that an Atom feed of your inbox is being rolled out too - it hasn’t rolled into my account yet. BTW, Yahoo Mail now does address autocompletion too. Competition is always good for the consumer :-)

There are some new additions to the SuSE Linux page.

Interesting stuff if you have the bandwidth.
