You Can Drag and Drop Images in Gmail Again.

Google seems to be in this habit of creating updates that nobody wants. Until recently, Google was the only e-mail provider that let you drag and drop files and images into the mail body. Then, they updated a few scripts and now every time you drag and drop an image in the mail body, Gmail would insert them inline. Which is very annoying.

But there's a fix for this now. The old drag and drop images as attachment features is still alive and working. All you have to do is drop the image at a very specific point. Which is the 'Drop to Attach' option on the grey menu bar. Throw your image in there and voila, it would appear as an attachment. :D

Thank you Lifehacker for this lovely tip.

Sharing Is Growing.

Knowledge is power. Hoarding knowledge, of course means exclusivity and economical leverage. If you do that, you would be like Apple. You'd hold on to your patents and reap on their rewards. 

Or you could be like Google. Take an operating system like Android and make it Open Source. Let people build and experiment with it. Slowly and steadily, you too would move forward and piggyback on the system's growth.

Individually, we all face similar choices. Do we hold on to the information we have or do we share it? Right now, I offloaded some insights I gained over the years to a junior. 30 minutes later he gave me some output that was exactly what the brief needed. I could have hoarded that information. I could have used it as leverage. I could have worried about his growth affecting my standing in the system. Instead I accepted that as the system grows, I'll grow with it.

The choice at the end is yours. Will you hoard or will you share?
