Invisible mode to GMail Chat

At last Google added invisible mode to Gmail chat.
But I think It could be less useful if lots of people go invisible.

New GMX Mail

Recently I have signed up a new web mail called GMX.It started in 2007 and have a state-of-the-art, high security servers hosted in the USA. I liked the web interface. It's clean and with out any Ads. I think it works only with Fire fox+1.5 or Internet Explorer 7.Its having a mail fetcher which fetch mails from other accounts. The interesting thing is that it fetches mails even from Hotmail and Yahoo basic accounts ending with .com. I liked the option to integrate images directly into the mail or to the background of the mail. Other features are-5 GB storage space, up to 50 MB attachments/email, option for exchanging files, POP3 , IMAP, 10 alternate email IDs and maximum Virus Protection…

Go check out GMX. It's free, easy to use and can incorporate your other entire web mail/email accounts for use under one virtual roof. It's a new experience with high security.

Climate of Bangalore !!

I always doubted why Bangalore is having a pleasant and equable climate throughout the year, when compared to other cities in India? The puzzling fact is that the nearby regions of Bangalore which lie in Andhra or Tamilnadu is not having a climate like Bangalore. Recently my doubt is solved… The cool climate of Bangalore is due to its unique elevation. Bangalore is having an elevation of average 915 meters above the sea level. This is near to the elevation of Vagamon or Kuttikkanam. There might be even more factors affecting the climate but this is the major reason. The average elevation of other cities of India is listed down.

Cochin: 1m
Chennai: 1m

Delhi: 215m
Nagpur: 370m
Hyderabad: 450m
Bangalore: 915m
