Google Working on a Notebook Replacement, ‘Keep’

Google is readying a new note-taking application that will let you create notes and checklists, which you can color-code and add pictures. Called “Keep”, the application made a brief appearance at the URL https://drive.google.com/keep before disappearing from the web, indicating the service had inadvertently gone live before it was planned. Google Keep is reminiscent of Google Notebook, another note keeping service that has been discontinued back in 2009.

News about the service was first uncovered by Carlos Jeurissen, who found some interesting hints about the new Google Drive app. There are multiple references to Google Keep in the GDrive code, including the URL https://drive.google.com/keep/?note. The internal codename for Google Keep is "memento" and the MIME type for Google Keep files is "application/vnd.google-apps.note".

Carlos also found the service's icon and a short URL that redirects to the Play Store page for a non-existent Google Keep app.

Then Android Police caught the actual application live at the said URL, and managed to grab a few screenshots. The blog also mentions a desktop version of Keep.

This actually isn't the first time Keep was accidentally mentioned by Google. The Verge reminds us of an official Google+ post that contained a link labeled "save to Google Keep”, way back in July 2012.

An official Google announcement appears imminent.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
