Just can't get enough of writing about Google. Every other day we get to see some new service being offered. The latest one may not be unique, but it is useful and works pretty well. Similar to the Google Similar Image search, Google Similar Pages is an useful utility to find similar web pages which can be used to find the alternative to the current page.

similar-pages

Google Similar Pages is a Google Chrome extension using which you can quickly preview and explore other pages that are similar to the one you are browsing, on the fly. When you click the Similar Pages button, your browser will send a search query to Google to see if there are any similar pages for the page you are viewing.

The Biggest Loser is a television show broadcast in many countries. It centers on overweight contestants attempting to lose weight to fight for a cash prize. There are different variations of the Biggest Loser around the world. Each country has made its own adaptation to the show; however, the contestants always have the same goal: to lose the highest percentage of weight (or most weight) to become the Biggest Loser. The US version of The Biggest Loser is currently hosted by Alison Sweeney and telecasted on NBC. Season 9 will premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 5 at 8/7c! The season starts with a weigh-in to determine the contestants' starting weights. Each week culminates in another weigh-in to determine which team has lost the most weight for that week, in percentage of total weight lost. The team that has lost the lower percentage during that week must vote off one member of the team. Season 9 is titled The Biggest Loser: Couples 3. The contestants are competing to win a $250,000 prize, which will be awarded to the finalist with the highest percentage of weight loss. Being a proud geek, I prefer to Watch The Biggest Loser...
The default font used by GMail sucks, at-least for me, it looks really bad. They use San-Serif font which must be one of the most boring, dull and unprofessional fonts available anywhere. default-font-gmail Every time I compose a mail, I have to change the font type and font size. I personally prefer black colored fonts without bolding or italicizing the text. But many would surely like the text color to be different. Unfortunately, there is no straight forward way to set the default font and color in Google Mail as we have in Microsoft Outlook.
