HOW TO PLAY GOOGLE PACMAN GAME IN OFFLINE WHENEVER YOU WANT

                         A few days ago, Google featured a new Doodle on Google's search page to celebrate the 30 year birthday of Pacman. Unlike other Google Doodles, this doodle was actually a real game that you could play right on the search page itself.

                    Many people enjoyed playing the game and some people were annoyed at the game sounds that played when the page loaded. Those who enjoyed playing the game might have been disappointed to see that it is now gone from the Google search page. I also like that game and so I tried to play the game again. While I am searching that in the net, I have found varies links to play the game. Some of them are below.

1) http://www.google.com/pacman/

2) http://macek.github.com/google_pacman/

                     But we can play this game while we are in online. So I tried to download the game for playing that game in offline. I have found the game in a website for free download. You can also download that game by clicking the following link.

NOW WE CAN DRAG AND DROP IMAGES INTO E-MAIL MESSAGE BODY OF GMAIL

                         While I browse on internet I came to know about the drag and drop functionality to insert image into message body of our mail. Gmail has added the new functionality to drag and drop images from our computer to the message body of our email.

                          In my old post I had mentioned about Drag and Drop attachments into Gmail instead of attach a new file. This will take less time than the attach a new file into Gmail.

                           Now Gmail has added another cool feature, so that we can attach images in the email message body by drag and drop from our desktop, or from any other folder in our computer.

                           If we want to attach many images we don't want to click the “image upload” button and upload each file one by one. We can select all the image files and drag them in the message body.

Now the image files are inserted into our e-mail message body.

                          Now, all the images will be uploaded and when the uploading is complete, we can align, re-size the images as per our wish. But, this new feature is only available for Google Chrome users. Gmail will implement this function soon for other browsers also.

HOW TO SYNC CHROME BOOKMARKS FROM YOUR COMPUTER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER

                        We can sync our bookmarks from Google Chrome to our Google account. If you want to store the bookmarks in Chrome from one computer to another computer, you can use Chrome's inbuilt bookmarks sync feature. Google Chrome sync makes it easy to share your data (such as bookmarks and preferences) between your computers. Google Chrome synchronizes your data by storing it online with Google when you login with our Google Account. The bookmarks sync feature in Google Chrome backs up your browser bookmarks to your Google account and syncs them when you are on Chrome on a different computer.

Steps to Sync :
                        In Google chrome, click on the wrench icon (customize and control Chrome) given at the top right.
 

                           Go to “Set up sync...” by clicking it.

                         A new window will be opened. In the new window, sign in with your Google account.

                              After signing in, all the bookmarks will get transferred to Google’s servers. A success notification will appear. Click OK in the success notification.

                            Now the bookmarks are synchronized. An easy way to get all your bookmarks on any computer connected to the internet. If you make any change in bookmarks on one computer, the change will appear immediately on the second computer.

HOW TO GIVE A VOICE TO MORE LANGUAGES ON GOOGLE TRANSLATE

                            I already posted about how to hear selected web content in my old post. Now Google has introduced "Text-to-Speech" which is used to hear the written text in many languages. One of the popular features of Google Translate is the ability to hear translations spoken out loud (”text-to-speech”). We can hear it by clicking the speaker icon beside some translations.

                      Google rolled this feature out for English and Haitian Creole translations a few months ago. Then added French, Italian, German, Hindi and Spanish before two weeks. Now Google is bringing text-to-speech to even more languages with the open source speech synthesizer, eSpeak.

                      By integrating eSpeak Google is adding text-to-speech functionality for Afrikaans, Albanian, Catalan, Chinese (Mandarin), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Latvian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Welsh.

                       You may notice that the audio quality of these languages isn’t at the same level as the previously released languages. Clear and accurate speech technology is difficult to perfect, but Google will continue to improve the performance and number of languages that are supported.

                       So, Try this by clicking the on the speaker icon for any of these translations: “nice website” in Greek, “i like you” in Chinese or “john” in Finnish.
