Picasa 3.0 from Google.

Google recently launched Chrome, web browser by Google. Chrome was in news all over as soon as it was available for download. But behind all the craze for chrome, release of Picasa 3.0 lost somewhere in the news.
Google introduced some really awesome feature in Picasa. Picasa 3 comes with a Photo Viewer, reminds me of ACDSee, but unlike ACDSee you don't have to pay anything to use it. Apart from this you can create movies from you pictures, and the best part is while creating the movie, time-line between the pictures automatically adjust to the length of song. Re-touch option is simply great it is very similar to clone feature in Adobe Photoshop.
These are some of the great features supported by Picasa 3, for a complete list click here

They have made significant change in Picasaweb as well, name tag feature is simply superb. You just have to name one face, and picasaweb will search and found all similar faces. It is so accurate, when I used it, I found more than 95% accuracy.

Invisible mode in G-talk (Google Talk)

Have you ever wished if you can chat invisibly through G-talk like you do in Yahoo messenger, here is a news, now you can chat invisibly in Google talk as well. As Invisible mode is not there in Gtalk, but if you wish to chat in Invisible mode, follow these instruction:
1) Sign out from G-Talk, as you can not go invisible if you are using window based G-Talk.
2) log in to you Gmail account, and choose invisible mode from the chat window on the left. You can find invisible option from the list where you change your status message.

You will be online but invisible, alway switch back to online using the same option.

Remember not to sign in to G-talk messenger window, as invisibly mode is not yet supported by Google Talk messenger. And yeah you don't need to upgrade anything to use this feature, this will reflect in you Gmail inbox.
