Undo feature in Gmail

Today is the first i heard that google mail has an undo feature. I donno about you but I think I am going to be using that feature quite regularly. The reason being is that my instant reaction to things is not exactly the reaction I like to share.

Anyhow, here is a link

In short, go to Settings in Gmail --> Go to "Labs" tab and the look for (ctrl+f) Undo --> Enable the feature.

p.s. updating the blog after a long time cuz someone reminded me that this blog can be useful :) Thanks Danny

What is ScreenStamp

ScreenStamp! is basically a screen grabbing application for pen-testing and people working in forensics. The app will ask you for a location to save your screen shots to, along with a name that the program will number, allowing the user to concentrate on the job at hand as opposed to saving screen shots. ScreenStamp! also time and date stamps the screen shot at the top right hand corner.
