Increase security in Gmail

Recently Google has added to its mail service Gmail a new feature that security can be quite useful, or at least allows you to take some control logons on your account, and where they occur but go little by bit.

When you log into Gmail, at the bottom of the screen shows the following message:

As shown in the figure shows the IP address from which you accessed the account and when it has done for the last time, but there's more, because if we click on detailed information we can see this window:

In the picture we see all the new posibildades that offers this feature:

• Information about the current session: IP, where it has occurred (browser, mobile, POP3, etc.)
• It lets you slam all the sessions you may have open on other computers (looks quite useful if for example you've left the account open by mistake on a public computer)
• Information about the last 5 connections: IP, where it has occurred (browser, mobile, POP3, etc.), date and time

It is certainly a great feature to control "uses bizarre" or inadequate in your inbox and detect theft of account, since for example, if you visit always mail from the browser and access the report you see your account has been opened by someone perhaps POP3 access in use without your consent, or if the days and hours of use of the account does not usually coincide with those normally able to see the mail, you can suspect something.

The IP, well, could become useful, but again, if you have it fixed, but in my opinion can become less important as it is normal that is dynamic, and if you connect from many places in one day your account, as there will be many ip's, but if you always do from a PC, if it can be useful too, but we must not become paranoid about this, .

Did this negative?, For again there is the ease with which Google collects data from users who perhaps could even be considered private, such as the IP, although Google seems that the IP data is not a private , the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) in its report 327/03 seems to disagree and which considers itself an IP private data , but hey, these have always been debates about whether Google goes too far with the information stored its users and the uses made of it.

Personally, I do not mind this as it is true that Google "knows everything about me", but thanks to that we can enjoy services and facilities such as other mailers do not, and you like their practices, but the solution is easy, stop using Google services . But for now, not for me to do, and I think this functionality can be very useful.

Be happy

Gmail paper

And Google continues to grow, as it has recently launched a spectacular new service: Gmail Paper that gives you the possibility that Google will print the emails that you specify from your account Gmail and send them an email address registered by the Users without any cost, as Google puts advertising return on the back of the sheet but never within the message, just as if the message includes photographs, printed on photographic paper, which carries no bias for the environment since all prints are made on recycled paper. This page is read into the service:

And this is what should have been the post, but Google are very funny!, And although I had missed a lot of the service, I also thought that Google anything, but it seemed a viable service in many respects, and indeed That's right, as Google has betrayed the joke, since it is an act of April 1 amounts to the U.S. which in Spain are the Holy Innocents on December 28, the feast with which Google has contributed announcing the launch of this "new" service, because it is traditional on this day, large companies do some kind of hoax or joke .

Here you can see the confession of Google
