Has anyone had the chance to check out the new Gmail Redesigned? I checked it out and I have to say that I really like it. The interface is lovely from the color scheme to the layout. They have addressed some performance issues too. Supposedly, the main focus of this version is speed and message space. I’ve noticed it being a bit faster now even when I’m working with a slow connection. One thing that is for sure is there is a huge reduction in “Oops!” messages.
In order to get Gmail Redesigned 3.0 you have to download the Redesigned extension. If you already have it, then it should automatically update to version 3.0.

I don’t know if many of you out there have student loans to pay off or are interested in consolidating and are looking for the standard rates currently out there, but I found this very helpful website months ago when trying to consolidate private loans. It lists the trend of the prime rate for the past 10 years and stays up to date at the beginning of every month with any change to the prime rate. If you are not familiar with the prime rate, it is basically the base interest rate charged by banks for people with perfect credit. So you can get an idea of where you would stand if you have almost perfect credit or O.K. credit, and so forth. Right now the prime rate is at 5.0%, which is extremely good compared to what it was when I graduated college and really got into my student loans (better late than never). This site also contains the Libor rates as well if your consolidation company utilizes that system. Its a very good website to have tagged in your delicious if you have student loans and are looking to reduce payments at the right time. Check out the article.
