Email Battle - 2011

2011-06-26T22:36:00.001-07:00

In this blog post I am going to differentiate between the top email service providers – Gmail, Yahoo mail, Windows live Hotmail.

Windows live Hotmail is the most popular email service provider with 364 million users (approx.), followed by Yahoo Mail with 273.1 million users and at the last it is Gmail with 193.3 million users. Gmail according to most of the people is really easy to use - making labels, adding filters, all the settings etc. are available easily. Gmail also has Google docs for online docs storage (1GB), Picasa for online pictures storage (1GB) and text messaging in some countries + labs are also good. Windows live Hotmail has the SkyDrive which can store up to 25GB of documents and pictures, but its User Interface is not up to the mark like for making new folder u need to go to manage folder settings and then make a new folder, to add a filter you need to go to manage rules and then make a filter, editing and managing contacts is also difficult also text messaging is not available in Windows live Hotmail. Yahoo mail has the most snappier and classic User Interface, in it text messaging is available in most of the countries but it lacks ‘integrated’ storage facility such as docs storage etc. for that you have to make a new account for “My drive” for photos you have to activate your “Flickr account”, to attach large files you need use “Yousendit” application.

Finally, Gmail has all the features and good user interface but the quantity of storage is less than Windows live Hotmail. On the other hand Windows live Hotmail with most storage has an uncomfortable user interface. Lastly, Yahoo Mail has the best User Interface but lack online storage but I like the text messaging as Gmail does not provide text messaging in India…

Embedding SWF (Shockwave Flash Object) in Power point 2003

2009-07-04T09:09:00.000-07:00

Step 1:

1. Open up your PowerPoint presentation. Select the page into which you want to insert the animation into
2. Go to View - Toolbars - Control Toolbox (figure 1) and click on the icon which looks like a little hammer
3. Select "Shockwave Flash Object" (figure 2) from the list
4. Drag a square onto the place where you want the Mix-FX file to appear
5. After you have done this, right-click on the box, choose properties, and the properties menu will pop up
6. To add the Mix-FX file you must click on "Custom", and select the "Build" icon (the three dots at the end of the line)
7. Now enter the Movie URL (make sure that you enter the correct path!) and tick the "Embed Movie" box as well
8. Finally, save and run your slide show in presentation view

Figure 1

After you have opened the Control Toolbox you will have an option box on your screen which looks like the one in Figure 2

Figure 2

After you have drawn your animation box you will have something similar to figure 3, a transparent box with 6 white dots representing the 4 corners as well as the top and bottom of the animation. At this point, if the size is not quite right, you can resize the animation.

Figure 3

You now need to edit the properties of your Flash animation. You will see a white box with an X through it on your screen, this is your animation. Right click on the box and then select Properties from the menu (Figure 4).

Figure 4

A Properties box will now appear on your screen. Double click on the (CUSTOM) setting at the top of the menu as in figure 5.

Figure 5

A properties page will now appear, this is where you will enter the information about your Flash movie. In the example we have chosen PING as our animation and it is located in the root of drive c:, so in the Movie URL we entered C:\ping.swf. We also need to make one other adjustment to our movie in order for it to appear properly: in the Scale section, click on the little down arrow and choose NoBorder, which will allow your movie to fit properly in the display box.

Once that is done, click OK, and save it. After you have saved the presentation you can view it. Also be sure to check the Embed Movie option as well otherwise the move will not display correctly when the presentation is moved to another location.
