View Your Own Image As a Background in Gmail

Ever since Google let us choose our own colors in the Gmail interface, we’ve been rocking a garish crimson motif, but there was something missing. Why couldn’t we choose our own photos as backgrounds? Now we can.

Our wish was granted on Thursday, when an announcement on the Gmail Blog said you can personalize the Gmail interface with your own photos, coming from either Google’s Picasa or your own hard drive.

Here’s how you can make it happen when you’re in Gmaill:

• Go to the Settings menu
• Click the Themes tab
• On the bottom left, select “create your own theme”
• Click on the link that invites you to select your own background image
• Choose an image, either from Picasa or from your own hard disk
• Enjoy your new look

orkut introduce like feature

The Orkut blog just announced that they have added a new “like” button in Orkut that will help you quickly react to your friends’ stories through smileys.

Unlike Facebook where pressing the Like button mostly means that you have really liked the story, Orkut’s implementation of the Like feature is much more complex (and ugly) offering users a whole range of emotions.

Change the Video Playback Speed in youtube

The video player of YouTube supports quite a few keyboard shortcuts to help you quickly skip forward or backward in a video.

You may increase the video playback speed by 2x (a 4 minute video will play back in two minutes) or slow it down by a factor of .25 so that the same 4 minute clip takes 16 minutes to play back. Increase the play speed if the video presentation is boring or decrease when you are transcribing what’s being said in the video.

This new option is still being rolled out and may not be available across all YouTube videos

For instance, while a video is playing, you can press the ‘0’ key to move the play head to the beginning of a video. Press the left or right arrow keys will let you go back or forward in a video by 10%. Alternatively, you may use number keys to jump to specific sections of a video – the key ‘1’ will move you to the 10% mark, ‘2’ to the 20% mark and so on.

Other than supporting shortcuts, the YouTube player now also lets you alter the playback speed of a video so that you may fast-forward, or slow-down, the video with a click
