Okay, here’s a little something from Google. Today Google said that its mail service (Gmail) goes for free. That means that from now on you shouldn’t ask your already registered friends if they can help you with the new account (or even try to buy it) all you have to do is just follow the link and register!

After that simple process you’ll get a free 2 GB of email storage and two more Google’s tools – Google Calendar and Docs & Spreadsheets to use and store data in as well.

Ps: also there’s a thing for users from U.K. From now on they can gain an access to their accounts from their cell phones.

MySpace.com has filed a federal lawsuit against a man who allegedly sent millions of spam “bulletins” advertising Web sites where users of the popular online social network could buy ring tones, polo shirts, and other products and services.

MySpace, owned by News Corp., sued Scott Richter Friday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. The suit seeks a permanent injunction barring Richter and affiliated companies from the online community. It also seeks unspecified monetary damages.

The latest spam suit is not the first against Richter. Microsoft and then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued Richter in 2003, when the defendant was known as one of the top spammers in the world, according to Microsoft. Richter and his company OptInRealBig.com LLC agreed to pay $7 million in a settlement reached two years later.

Here’s one more web-based service that you can find useful. It’s called My ip-address & location and (yes, you’re totally right) it does exactly what the developers says. For those of you who still don’t get it let me explain… Just a bit 🙂

It is a web service that will automatically look up your IP address automatically, and locate your (means yours computers) current location by using Google Maps. Well, sometimes it didn’t trace you to your home PC showing just the location of your ISP, or the node of your ISP that you connect to. Can you look up other IP addresses? Yes, definitely.

Just try it. It’s even fun (for just a bit though).

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia, is set to launch an internet search engine with amazon.com that he hopes will become a rival to Google and Yahoo!

The project has been dubbed Wikiasari — a combination of wiki, the Hawaiian word for quick, and asari, which is Japanese for “rummaging search”.

Mr Wales told The Times that he was planning to develop a commercial version of the search engine through Wikia Inc, his for-profit company, with a provisional launch date in the first quarter of next year.

Social music site Last.fm has recently updated their OS X client to the new version (1.1.0). Well, it’s not that BIG but still interesting to try out.

As for the new features… Well, official site is short on details, but users already found out what’s it all about. There are some UI changes that include new icons, font changes and button sizes, new version is only compatible with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger). Also it lacks the ability to play multiple tags at the same time.

Test-drive it on your Mac!

Here is one more file sharing/hosting/storing site for your pleasure. This one’s called DivShare. Let’s take a peek inside!

Well, this one mostly like others: it offers unlimited uploads and downloads, there are no waiting lines for files, auto image galleries, no popups or spam, easy to use dashboard, and all files stay online forever.

Download/upload speed is good (well, this one you should check for yourself, really). Like other services (for ex. Rapidshare.de) DivShare won’t let you upload files larger than 100 MB.

Ps: you can use this service without any registration, but i’d recommend you to. Cause it’s totally free and it’ll take about 3-4 minutes of your time.

Adobe just have released the first beta version of new Photoshop (CS3). One of the biggest (or can we say greatest) update in new version is that it will now run natively on Intel Macs.

The official FAQ also mentions non-destructive Smart Filters, Quick Selection tool, Reine Edge, Automatic layer alignment and blending, Vanishing Point with multiple, adjustable angle perspective planes, and Black and White conversion.

The beta version of CS3 will be available for everybody here. If you want to find out more information on this topic visit blogs at Adobe’s website.

Google have officially announced the beta version of the Firefox Toolbar 3.

The newest additions in Toolbar 3 include accessing bookmarks from any computer, adding custom buttons, and sharing web pages (using Blogger, Gmail or SMS). Also now there’s a feature that allows you to view Documents and Spreadsheets right in the browser window. When you come across a document of any kind (.doc, .rtf, .odt, .sxw, .xls, .ods, or .csv) you don’t have to download ’em to find out what’s they are about. All you have to do is just simply setup the Toolbar 3 Beta to open those files automatically in your browser window.

You can check it out right here.

You need a place where you can upload and download files without any additional features like at Box.net? Well, try DropBoks.

It is a free storage solution where you can store up to 1GB of information. The only catch here is that you can’t upload (and download) big file at once (for example big music archive or a whole DivX movie or something else) – there’s a limit only 50MB at time.

It’s very simple to use (navigate) – sign up, then browse to the files you wish to upload and… in general that’s all. Selected files will be uploaded to a special folder from where users can download those files. When you don’t need some file anymore simply drag and drop it onto the trash icon.

Ps: One more thing. Remember I’ve told you that this service was free? Well, it’s so but guys who are running that site just ask for a $1 fee so there won’t be any ads.

Just try it for yourself. I’ve got a feeling you’ll love it.
