With the storage space available to Gmail users currently approaching 2.5 gigabytes, you wouldn't be alone if you've begun wondering what purposes (other than email warehousing) you can put your account to. My inbox is relentlessly inundated with exciting job offers and marriage proposals from beautiful women, and even I can't utilise such a generous allocation of web space.

Customise your Google home page
You've already set Google as your home page (just call me Mystic Meg), so why not personalise it to suit your preferences? Once you've registered a Google Account (you will already have one if you've used one of Google's better known services such as Gmail) you can get started by visiting www.google.com/ig.
'ig' ushers in a radical, new epoch for the eponymous info-foraging giant - like the 'i' in...

Get paid to surf (at work)
Aside from not having to show up at all, it's every office worker's dream to be able to loaf around all day surfing the web, sending personal emails, managing online accounts and so on. Based on entirely unreasonable grounds (something to do with productivity I imagine) most bosses object to this. That's the end of that guilty pleasure then, or is it?
Ghostzilla provides one possible work (ha ha)...

Whah ah lurrrve mah Mah-ac
When I tell people I've detracted to the light side of computing (aka buying an Apple Mac) people tend to react in the same way. They squint at me in bemused wonderment as though I'd just suggested that volunteering to be chased down a narrow, cobbled street by a 3600 kg herd of raging, blood-thirsty bulls is an amusing way to while away a Saturday night. For Spanish readers: they think I've lost...

Home networking is child's play
Low-end, though perfectly adequate, computers are so cheap these days it's feasible for each member of the household to have their own, dramatically reducing incidences of arguing, hair pulling and death threats.
Even so, shelling out for one-off hardware purchases is only the beginning - everyone will want to have unfettered access to the internet, and this is where your running costs can truly...

Allah must be very proud
Payback for supporting Bush's Middle Eastern tantrums struck Londoners with full force on Thursday 7th July. As a reward, sooner or later, the callous, murdering filth who perpetrated this act of vengeance will of course be sauntering off on their summer hols; awaiting them in Jannah are 72 Houri.
What planet are these brainwashed dullards living on? If the Quran also taught that Santa Claus is real...

Google Maps Pedometer launched
You've all heard of, and a great many of you probably use Google Maps on a regular basis, but have you checked out some of the indie hacks? My current favourite, without a shadow of a doubt, has to be Gmaps Pedometer.
While Google Maps allows you to zoom into your neighbourhood and get directions, it doesn't let you plot customised way points and tot up the distances between them. Gmaps Pedometer...

Disable unnecessary Windows services and speed up your system
To keep Windows slaves - hardcore, geek power users and fledgling AOL-ers alike - happy, Microsoft enable well over 100 background services by default in each fresh installation of their operating system. The majority of home users will see no benefit from processes which cater for corporate environments, web server administrators and so on, yet these processes continue to covertly drain their system...
