A new keyboard for GMAIL

In Google’s Gmail website there are many short cut keys. But it is difficult to remember all these short cut keys. To solve this issue a new keyboard is now commercially available. This keyboard costs 19.99 USD.

There are 19 keys in this keyboard and looks like a number keypad. Each key represents a shortcut key. For example to mark a message with a star (favourites), or to initiate a search, to go inside the message threads etc can be achieved by just a click of a button. This keyboard can be connected to your laptop or PC via USB ports. There is no drivers required for this keyboard. You can just connect and start using it. But before you start using it, you will have to goto your Gmail account and enable the ‘Short cut keys’ in your settings.

This keyboard was not designed by Google. A film producer, Charlie Mason created this keyboard. If you already use shortcut keys in Gmail this could be a thing to consider. If you have not started using Gmail shortcut keys then this is the right time to try.

GOOGLE Magic :

              This is a simple Magic Trick with Google that can be easily performed to surprise you friends and win laurels. No prior experience or preparation required to carry out this magic trick.

                         The trick is to disappear the two O’s from the Google logo. For this, first navigate to this page, by Dark Arts Media. Do not tell your friends that you are going to perform a magic else they would be extra careful and will

notice the URL address..

Be casual, open this page, and then do some gestures by one hand covering the Google logo, uttering aabra-ka-dabra and click anywhere on page by another hand. Remove your hand from the logo and your friend will be surprised to see that the two middle O’s of Google are missing. Repeat the same steps to bring back the missing alphabets and enjoy this funny effect with your friend.

The catch is at the special page, which animates by itself when you click on it. For the first time when you click, the alphabets will disappear. When you click again, the alphabets will reappear after 5 seconds. Moreover, if you click third time, you would be forwarded to original Google home page.
