Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Google is Testing a Completely Redesigned Interface for Gmail [Screenshots]
Google is testing a completely redesigned interface for Gmail, according to a new report from Geek.com.
The new design features a fly-in menu on the left which replaces the tab system that Gmail got last year. There is also a collapsible Hangouts interface on the right.
This setup lets you open everything up if you’re a fan of using the whole display for your email, but it also supports shrinking the window down so you can glance at your Inbox whenever you need it. The bars that stretch across the display look a a little awkward at first, but when you keep in mind how much information can be displayed in those bars it is a setup that could prove useful to anyone who needs a more detailed scan of their Inbox when hunting for something.

Both Dr. Dre and Jimmy lovine are likely to take senior positions at Apple following the acquisition of Beats, reports the WSJ. The acquisition has not yet been officially confirmed; however, a video that surfaced on Facebook appears to confirm the $3.2 billion deal.
As Apple completes a deal to buy headphone and streaming-service company Beats Electronics LLC from Mr. Iovine and his co-founder, rap star Dr. Dre, both men are likely to take senior positions with the Cupertino, Calif., tech company, according to people familiar with the matter, commuting from the Los Angeles area to Silicon Valley—or meetings elsewhere—as needed. Though the details of the men’s potential Apple assignments remain unclear, the mere possibility underscores how Apple’s corporate culture has loosened under the leadership of Mr. Jobs’s successor, Chief Executive Tim Cook.
A source tells the WSJ that lovine will leave his post as chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M records, a division of Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group. though it isn’t clear how soon he would depart. Universal owns 14% of Beats and would get about $500 million from the acquisition. They’d likely let lovine leave ahead of his contract expiration early next year.
