1 2

It is the primary means of communication for not only business enterprises but also individuals. E-mail is used in a variety of ways than you can ever imagine. For instance, sending and receiving documents, updating social network statue and business transaction alerts amongst other services.

The most surprising thing is that a majority of online users have been utilizing the same email service for over the past 10 years. This was when a number of corporations companies launched e-mail service as part of its activities, e.g. Yahoo, Google and Hotmail. Nonetheless, as information and communication technology develops, there has been a shift in email services as different email service providers come up with diverse services thus creating a competitive market.

Illustrated herein are some of the top ten free email service providers in the world. The list comprises of main free email service providers to niche email service providers. The arrangement has not been done in any chronological order apart from the first four on the list. The remaining has been placed randomly. The reason for this is that each service provider has a unique solution that it offers its clients.

 

1. Gmail:

There is no absolute doubt that of all the free email services available today, none beats them all like Gmail. Nonetheless, what makes Gmail the best free email service in the world today? The email account is connected to various Google application programs, i.e. search engine and Gtalk amongst others. In addition, the development team is constantly working round the clock to better its services. Whereas, Gmail is new in the market in comparison to other free email services that have been in the market for quite some time, it has managed to live up to its name.

 

2. Yahoo Mail:

In terms of tracking current and old messages, Yahoo Mail offers the best platform. Using the Automatic filter, one can be able to separate search results with ease thus offering you a single click to folders, documents and senders amongst others in the process. Over the years, Yahoo has been able to enhance its services by including social services where users are able to connect with one another thus keeping tabs on what others are up to.

 

3. Hotmail:

Since its acquisition by Microsoft Inc, hotmail has seen several changes on its interface and features than what it initially was. Hotmail has also been linked with other Microsoft products, for example, Outlook. Therefore, you can be able to read and send all your Hotmail messages from your Outlook account. Other features which have been enhanced include anti-spam that filters mail messages. The downside of linking Hotmail with a number of other Microsoft products limits its usage unless you are running the mail on a Windows platform.

 

4. AOL:

Initially, AOL was not a free email service. But, because of increased competition, it was compelled to offer free email services. It is undoubtedly the oldest email service provider. In spite of having gained experience in the field of email service, it has not managed to keep up with the competition. AOL interface is lacking in so many ways and needs some serious improvements. However, the email service provider is on point in terms of security as it has been able to put adequate measures so as to prevent and hinder viruses and spamming.

 

5. Inbox:

Inbox is a free email service provider that comes with loads of features rivaling the top email service providers, i.e. free 5GB storage for your documents and mail messages. It has a good security platform but has not been able to adequately manage phishing. In addition, the email service provider does not offer log on through IMAP.

Top 10 Fastest SUVs

1 2

Sports Utility Vehicles or SUV’s as they are commonly known, were never renowned for speed. They were good large vehicles and were generally considered to be more of a utility car rather than one associated with fast driving. However their growing popularity has made car manufacturers realise that if fast driving can also become one of their attributes then the SUV’s will become vehicles of choice for money.

Here are the top ten fastest SUV’s for 2011. We judged them with regards to their top speed and 0 to 60 times.

 

1. BMW X6m:

BMW claim that this is the fastest SUV available in the market and with a speed of zero to sixty in 4.3 seconds, the claim seems to be absolutely correct. The cost is a massive $ 88,900, and at 5000 lbs it is one of the heaviest vehicles in this list. But with BMW’s superb engine power behind it, it is a great machine.

 

2. BMW X5m:

Another product from the BMW stable, this ute is also a great machine. Slightly slower and heavier than the X6, it is however backed by the reputation of BMW’s excellent craftsmanship. BMW’s zero maintenance facility makes it virtually cost-free with regards to any maintenance problems which may arise.

 

3. Porsche Cayenne Turbo X:

Sleek and sporty, this beauty has been in the forefront of the SUV field for many years. Even the cost factor of $ 104,700 does not seem to deter those who feel it is one of the best SUV’s available. It’s twin turbo-charged V8 engine generates 500-hp with twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8, for a zero to 60 speed in 4.4 seconds.

 

4. Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG:

Mercedes Benz has been renowned for luxury and speed and quality. They have maintained their excellent quality in this V8, 6.3 litre 503 horsepower engine, It has a maximum speed of 155 mph, which may not be as high as the other SUV’s but it is still good enough to make this list.

 

5. Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8:

The fastest model made by Jeep, it breaks all the myths that Jeep only has slow lumbering vehicles in it’s roster. It has a 420 horsepower, 6.4 litre V8 engine and can streak from zero to 60 in 4.8 seconds. It’s price of $ 45,000 makes it a very good buy in this category.

Top 10 Quickest Sports Cars for 2009-2010 under $100,000

1 2

The following 10 super cars were judged by 1/4 time and potential top speed. Some of these cars were so close in comparison that they could have been placed in different order. Moreover, only one car from one manufacturer was placed on this list.

 

1. Nissan GT-R

nissan-gt-r-2010Base Price (MSRP): $80,790

Acceleration 0-62 mph: 3.6 seconds
¼ Mile Time: 11.6 seconds at 125 mph
Top Speed: 191 mph / 307.4 km/h restricted
Lateral Acceleration: 1.0 g

Until recently, the GT-R has never officially been imported to North America. Only 60,000 are planned to be built for the 5 year production time. With full-time four-wheel drive and all the comforts, this car can easily be a daily driver, 365 days of the year in any climate.

 

2. Dodge Viper SRT 10

Top Speed: 200 mph / 321.9 km/h
Lateral Acceleration: 1.0 g

A thinly-disguised race car, the Viper is not for amateurs; unlike the more forgiving forgiving Corvette, the Viper requires considerable driving skill to handle it properly. Explosive power and surprising handling prowess make Dodge’s flagship vehicle a thrilling ride. Beyond that Viper is an emotional statement that makes little sense as daily transportation.

 

3. Corvette Z06

chevrolet-corvette-z06Base Price (MSRP): $74,875
Engine Type: 7 L V8
Power: 505 hp
Torque: 470 lb-ft

This is the ultimate Shelby Mustang of the era – “King of the Road”. The Shelby GT500KR is produced in an exclusive run of 1000 units. The production Shelby GT500KR was maximized to deliver the perfect balance between ride and handling. The combination of added horsepower, refinement and functionality makes the 2010 Shelby GT500 a unique high-performance car.

 

5. Cadillac CTS-V

We felt that its potential is slightly ahead of its competitors due to acceleration, potential unrestricted top speed and ride quality. In 2009 the Hayabusa features the best power-to-weight ratio and presents as one of the sharpest looking motorcycles ever made.  The revised engine has a claimed 12% increase in power to 194hp / 145 kW.
