Gmail Antivirus

Google added virus scanning capabilities to their mail service on 2nd dec. As people will know that gmail doesnt allow you to send an exe file as attachment. But even with the virus scan in place you cannot send an exe file (altough there are ways to do it but for common user it will not be easy). Moreover the virus scanning feature cannot be disabled which is useful in case you are sending the infected file to the antivirus support to get help.
People are already complaining about this. To add on google doesnt even tell which company's service they are using to scan the emails. The users would really apreciate that they know which antivirus software is scanning their mails

Partition Magic

I had a little problem with my partitions. One of them had too much free space and the other had a little and i couldnt simply move the data so i decieded to move the free space. The software i used was partition magic 8.5 its quite easy to use and simple. The resize partition option enabled me to change the sizes of the partition. So the space problem is sloved for the time been :)

Solaris 10

Today we had our very first experience with installing solaris 10. The operating system takes a lot of space(it asked for about 8gb for full installation) but the interface is similar to linux. We could install it on one partition but it didnt boot properly. We maganed to log on to a shell only once and could execute popular unix commands like ls, cd etc. I dont knw what is the problem maybe it isnt installed properly.
Lets see what happens next. :)

Firefox 1.5 released

So mozilla finally released the new 1.5 version of the browser firefox... most of the changes hav been cosmetic even thought the release was long expected. The browser is now in its 2nd year.. and has a market share of about 10% since it was launched in november last year. IE still leads the market but firefox ios catching up... no mozilla is going to design a new marketing campaign for the browser...

U can download firefox 1.5 from http://www.mozilla.com
