Gmail can tell you the sender time zone and current time

This new Gmail Labs feature is very useful if you ever work with people from different regions. You want to reply to them, but you want them to read this immediately while they’re in front of computer, instead of stack up on him mailbox, and only being read when they comeback tomorrow morning.

That’s how Sender Time Zone will be able to assist you.

sender time zone Gmail can tell you the sender time zone and current timeOnce you enable it from Gmail Labs , all emails in  mailbox will have additional information called ‘sender-time’ once you ‘click ‘show detail’.

So now you know when this email has been sent and the time over there now. So do you still want to call them in the middle of the night??

Google Images Search adds colour filter

It is cool if we can filter our search  for any images by their colour. Apparently we can do that now, when Google start implementing colour filter up to 12 colours.

For instance, if I’m looking for white colour Kia Sportage images, choose white colour filter, and only white colour Kia sportage will be shown, although there are silver colour Kia Sportage as well. Same goes when I filter the colour by red. Only red colour Kia Sportage images shown. Red colour seems to be more accurate filter.

Student Pad is web browser with text editor

Not all web browser created with speed in mind. StudentPad by Haxaro is one such web browser which integrate text editor into the browser. The main idea is to allow users making note of what they search.

Although that sounds promising, but that’s not really practical as we already had other application such as Evernote or even Google Notebook add-ons. This application  allow user to take notes by highlight any text or image,  which then automatically copied directly to that application. That is much easier, rather than typing the notes, although that method has its own advantage if you want to memorize it effectively.

On the UI, I wish that the text editor windows can be re-sized. It only left small spaces for web browsing purpose especially if you’re at low resolution screen.

Other features are including in-built calculator, Character Counter, MDI, Email Client and a bibliography template. Not much can be said about that, as that is pretty standard application on any computers nowadays. Take note also that it failed on Acid 3 test, where it scored only 13/100.

Student Pad is lightweight and standalone browser. With this advantage, you can keep it into your thumb drive, as it does not require any installation.
