Gmail: Searching for Unread Mail

There is no native means of searching for Unread Mail in Gmail. There is however a workaround. Enter is:unread in the Search Box, this will find all the Unread mail in the Inbox. Simple when you know how.

What's gone wrong with AVG

I am not sure what AVG have done with the latest update to v8.1 but my XP laptop and my Vista64 Desktop will not update. Initially there was a problem with CTF files. I sorted that by deleating the currupt file. The next problem was every time there was an update the machines wanted to restart. Now I have a General Error. I have been around the forums and tried the various fixes suggest to no avail. I have installed and reinstalled again to no avail.

I have used AVG for as long as I can remember and have converted many others to the cause but along with many other, may be this is the time to change.

I am about to install Kaspersky Internet Security, available half price in W H Smiths at £23.50. Top of the pile in PC Pro tests, so here goes.

Photography a Criminal Offence

An item in Guardian 12 February 2009 warned that it will be a criminal offence to photograph police officers under anti-terrorism legislation which becomes law on Monday 16th Feb 09. Both professional and amateur photographers will be at risk of harassment under the new law. A major demonstration outside New Scotland Yard is planned for Monday by NUJ.

So I suppose the next time I take a photograph like this my feet won't touch the ground! But does he count? He is probably a civilian, in wolfs clothing!
