While right clicking on emails in the inbox is supported in the current Gmail version, options are limited. At the moment, the service allows users to “Move to tab”, “Archive”, “Mark as unread”, and “Delete” when they right click on an email.

We are not just talking a few, Gmail has gained 8 more options in the right click menu....

In case mirroring Apple’s Ireland tax debacle, Alphabet Inc. subsidiary Google has been caught fudging taxes. Or so an accusation from a Netherlands-based regulator suggests.

Chrome can be particularly annoying when it handles too many tabs. The market-leading browser reduces tabs to nothing more than slivers with no icons or labels if too many are loaded. Again, this is frustrating. To solve the problem, Google is turning to one of its browser rivals for inspiration. Chrome will be gaining scrollable tabs to make finding many tabs easier.

Now, the company is promising “all will be revealed” in a press event at the Game Developers Conference next month. Major press outlets have received invites to the mysterious event. In a teaser, Google showed a 3D animated hallway with a light at the end. It’s clear its GDC presentation is going to be very different this year, and Project Stream is the natural assumption. After the test with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, it’s possible Google is willing to shed light on its long term plans for the service, how it will support developers, and possibly a release date....

However, that doesn’t mean it’s without flaws, as Google revealed recently. A medium severity bug was found in Windows 10 S systems that use Device Guard. The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass the Windows Lockdown Policy using a bug in .NET, allowing arbitrary code execution.
