Use Google Analytics to Track Outgoing Gmail Messages

Source: http://lifehacker.com/use-google-analytics-to-track-outgoing-gmail-messages-1376730096

We've shown you before how to track your outgoing emails, but that can be costly and you might not need to track everything. With Google Analytics you can track emails on a per-message basis completely for free.

In the video above, engineer Amit Agarwal shows how to use this Google Drive spreadsheet script to set an Event tracker on an individual email. The process requires you to have a Google Analytics account (which is free, but requires a bit of set up), but once you're done it's relatively easy to add the tracker to an email, which can be handy for that one really important message you need to know has been seen.

​

While you would be excused for thinking the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were Apple's latest offerings, you'd be wrong. Today, Cupertino has announced that the iMac range has been updated to include new silicon (Haswell) new GPUs and improved WiFi. The entry-level 21.5-inch iMac houses a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with iris Pro graphics, while the top spec version (both sizes) comes with 3.4GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 700 series graphics, plus the option to upgrade to core i7 at 3.5 GHz. That WiFi refresh brings "next gen" 802.11ac, and there's also support for PCIe-based flash storage meaning up to 3TB of Fusion drive, or 1TB SSD. The new models are available today, starting at $1,299 for the 21.5-inch, and $1,499 for the bigger display.

Archos GamePad 2 outed with quad-core CPU, higher-res display

Even in the age of the NVIDIA Shield, dedicated Android gaming handsets are still a bit of a rarity, which is all more of a reason to take a gander at the leaked GamePad 2 from Archos. The device first reared its head at the FCC, and thanks to an online retailer -- which has since scrubbed all references to the product -- we're now treated to a press shot and a smattering of technical specs for the successor to the original GamePad. This time around, it's purported to sport a slightly more dense 1,280 x 800, 7-inch IPS display, along with a 1.6GHz quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. In addition to the previously available 8GB model, a new 16GB version is said to be in the works, and in both cases, the GamePad 2 will retain a microSD expansion slot. There's no word yet on pricing or availability, but you can bet that we'll hear more from Archos soon enough.

drag2share: Here's A Peek At Facebook's New Way To Pay For Stuff With Your Smartphone (FB)

source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/businessinsider/~3/1NvrtAgvMhM/a-peek-at-facebooks-autofill-2013-9

On Monday night, a small number of mobile Facebook users will gain access to a new feature, a way to easily pay for stuff with their phones.

Update: Facebook tells us that this is not a feature of the Facebook mobile app, but an option that developers can build into their own apps.

As we previously reported, the feature is called "Autofill with Facebook" and Facebook is slowly rolling it out to the public. Two mobile apps are participating in the test, men's clothing store JackThreads and photo book site, Mosaic.

Right now only users who have their credit card information stored in their Facebook profiles will be able to see the new feature. 

This is not a competitor to PayPal. The feature works with PayPal, as well as as Braintree and Stripe.

This is a way to automatically fill in credit card information with a drop-down menu. It is to mobile shopping what autofill/autocorrect is to texting.

Facebook sent us a couple of photos of the new feature. Take a look:

Coolpad intros 5.9-inch Magview 4 phone with CoolHub and cWatch accessories

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/23/coolpad-magview-4/

Oppo isn't the only company launching a 5.9-inch smartphone today. Coolpad has just unveiled the Magview 4, which mates a similarly large display with a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 13-megapixel f/2.0 rear camera and an aluminum chassis. The Android 4.2 handset doesn't offer as many built-in tricks as its Oppo counterpart, but it's arriving alongside a trio of clever accessories. The pocketable CoolHub combines a battery with a Bluetooth speaker, a microSD card reader and NFC tag support; the CoolHub 2 extends this with environmental sensors and a pedometer. Coolpad is also launching the cWatch C1, a waterproof smartwatch with alerts for calendars, calls and messages. While the company hasn't yet priced its add-ons, it will ship the Magview 4 to mainland China in October for ¥3,980 ($650).
