use an online todo list

Using an online todo list is quite practical if you don't like keeping this kind of stuff old fashioned way. If you are a gmail fan like me, I'm sure you'll find "tasks" service of gmail useful. Tasks in gmail is a nice todo list where you can assign due dates to items and where you can keep multiple todo lists. I recommend it to anyone who emails reminders to himself. You can find its link in the left side of the main gmail page just below the "Contacts" link.

you wish you could catch and cancel that email you sent, don't you?

If your answer to the title of this entry is yes or YES or several time yes/YES, then rejoice because now gmail can undo emails. After you send an email with google mail, you have five seconds to change your opinion and cancel sending this mail. It is an inarguably useful feature considering how many times you (I) wish you (I) didn't send "that" email. A job application without a CV attached to it is not that effective isn't it? Yeah I though so...

Notice that it's a labs feature. You have to activate it from there to use it.

read attached pdf without acrobat reader

Thanks to Gmail's new service, it is possible to read PDF files attached to e-mails without the need of saving them and opening them with Acrobat Reader. I tried the new feature and it worked flawless as long as I could test it. As you can see in the picture, all you have to do is to click on "view" to read the PDF file.
