Offline Google Mail for Chrome

The first update is the addition of a settings page (look for the new settings icon). You can now choose whether you want to synchronize 7, 14 or 31 days worth of mail. So the next time you get on an airplane, you can sit back and tackle up to 31 days of mail all while offline.

They also made a number of other updates to Gmail offline:
Improved attachments: All attachments are now downloaded and available for offline use
Keyboard shortcuts support: If you have keyboard shortcuts enabled in Gmail, your setting will transfer over to the Gmail offline app. If you're not sure what you can do with keyboard shortcuts, try pressing ‘?’ next time you’re using Gmail or Gmail offline.
Numerous performance enhancements: Messages and attachments now download at a faster rate and some bugs have been fixed.

VirusTotal (New Version) - Moving to Google App Engine


New URL for VT: https://new.virustotal.com/

Just noticed that this URL redirects to virustotal.com.
This 'new' URL was maybe a temporal thing.

It redirects to what is essentially the new version of VT as it now has new layout from what was new.virustotal.com and a 32MB upload limit.

So it looks like the testing is over and the new layout and functionality are moved to the main site.

See example file I uploaded for scanning via the new.virustotal.com redirected to virustotal.com, https://www.virustotal.com/file/86375561cd806ca8fd7b301bfd0a089f6944c7ac8f563d2aeb6538ca44a2859a/analysis/1326973523/.

You're correct, it's half the size.  ;D
The service you are talking about actually comes from CX.com and gives you 10 Gig
This one comes from me. :)

Why doesn't avast adopted the freemium model as the others?
Even Mozy (which avast is based on) has a freemium model.

Yes, thats a valid point  ::)

Perhaps, Avast doesn't have its own infrastructure. It might be relying on someone else to provide online back services just like how they partnered with RoboForm to provide the password manager.
