Google Apps offers cash-strapped small businesses a lot of bang for the buck, but one app that can cause problems is Gmail. Specifically, each Google Apps account affords just 25GB of Gmail storage, meaning it's not uncommon for users to bump into that ceiling—especially if they're on the receiving end of a lot of attachments. When that happens, the user can't send or receive mail, which is a potentially serious problem. What if a customer submits an order and your sales guy doesn't receive it because his mailbox is full? . It does so primarily by scanning inboxes for attachments and identifying the largest ones, then allowing users to delete or download them.
Expectations for Apple to release an iWatch reached a new pitch yesterday as that such a device could have much higher profit margins than the company's iPad line up and its rumored HDTV. Apple has filed 79 patents that relate to wearable technology and are generally expected to be part of its iWatch effort. Reports also indicate that the company has a team of 100 people working on the iWatch project that includes engineers, design experts, and marketing professionals. Reports about the iWatch indicate that it would be tethered to an iPhone or iPad that would provide a stream of content and alerts to the wearer, including email, caller ID, calendar info, and updates of pre-selected information like weather reports or stock quotes. All of these ideas are present in existing smartwatches coming to market, including the Pebble watch that can pair with an iPhone or Android phone. Many are also anticipated uses for Google Glass, which is expected to ship by the end of the year, just like the iWatch. All of these capabilities, while not designed for the business market, have some direct business potential. The updates that can be displayed on an iWatch are often the updates that professionals across many industries check repeatedly throughout the day. Having that information update in an unobtrusive way on a wearable device would allow workers to check notifications in real time without disrupting a meeting—or even a casual conversation—by pulling out their phone and unlocking it.

Windows RT, Microsoft’s first tablet-focused operating system, is not proving to be a hit in Europe. Actually, demand on the old continent is so weak that Samsung will reportedly stop sales of its Windows RT tablet in Germany. ) at the CeBIT expo in Hanover.

. Still missing: YouTube. It's borderline crazy that a box that can stream every video service you've ever heard of—and plenty you haven't—doesn't support YouTube. That's a pity, because it means you can't watch "Gangnam Style," basketball's best buzzer-beaters, or the latest Harlem Shake videos on your TV.
Windows 8 has landed with more of a thud than a bang, to hear many retailers and manufacturers tell it. The root of the problem is up for debate, but a new report suggests that Microsoft is taking one of the possible culprits—the lack of low-cost, touchscreen Windows 8 devices—head-on, offering manufacturers steep discounts on Windows 8 and Microsoft Office licenses destined for small, finger-friendly laptops and hybrids. , citing “people familiar with the situation.” Previously, the same bundle would have cost $120. Larger touchscreen devices can also get a discount license, but without Office, the Journal claims. Microsoft didn't confirm or deny the discount. A spokesman merely told the Journal that “Microsoft will “continue to work with partners to ensure that Windows is available across a diverse range of devices.” Windows 8's interface was overhauled to work best with touchscreen devices, but touch capabilities add significant cost to the price of a display. When combined with the cost of a Windows license, it's no surprise that low-price touchscreen laptops have been scarcely seen, though a few models can be found for south of $500.
so far, but at least one high-profile figure in the world of IT can't seem to say enough good things about the device. on Tuesday. “And it is a beautifulscreen, to the point where I suspect I'll make this my primary laptop.” Despite believing that laptops should generally weigh 1KG or less—the Pixel tops that by 50 percent—Torvalds added that he's willing to make the sacrifice “because the screen really is that nice.”
