Useful Gmail Keyboard ShortCuts

Email has been around for many years, and many would have been using Gmail for years. Would you be able to work on the Gmail without using the mouse or touch pad? (if you are still using Desktops or Laptop). Many would answer it with a big NO.

Gmail has lots to offer, but many aren't interested to even check what's in its belly, we just think its only for sending mails. But we forget that sending emails could be a lot easier if you are the kind of guy/gal who like to use the keyboard and hate to move yor hands away from it.

Gmail offers the Keyboard Shortcuts, only a few people know about it and out of them many haven't used it. That only few people comes to around 1% of the total users of Gmail which is about 4 million and out of which about 5% people use the short cut, do you realize how underused is Gmail shortcuts. Why people aren't using is people think its difficult and would be time consuming, yes it is if you are the one who doesn't use the Gmail often, but if you are a frequent user or a power user than you ought to know this short cuts.

How to Activate Gmail Keyboard Shortcuts
Go to Click on gear icon and sellect Settings > General > Keyboard Shortcuts  to turn on the feature on your Gmail.

What’s in name? Ask RIM, sorry BlackBerry

About five years ago I didn’t know the maker of BlackBerry Smartphones was RIM (Research In Motion) although I had seen many managers and CEO’s flaunted this device and it was the cool or have to gadget then. But time changed, iPhone came so did Samsung, LG, Sony, etc with touch screen phones and we the younger breed became the cooler lot. Interest in BlackBerry faded and was termed as BalckBrick, if any one flaunted it. RIM was very slow to react to the changes and its stock dwindled since beggining of 2009 and bottomed out to $15 in mid of 2012, which was down 90% of 2008's high.



RIM decided that it will change and showed its intention to the world in May 2012, during the unveiling of its BalackBerry 10 Operating Systems.  It released the BlackBerry 10 and prototype touchscreen phone to developers.
