Any Buzz notification automatically matches the Gmail query label:buzz, so all you've got to do is set up a quick filter to keep those Buzz notifications out of your inbox. (Skip straight to the end to turn off Buzz completely.) Here's how it works:
Filter Buzz Notifications Out of Your Inbox
First, click the Create a filter link in Gmail up next to the search box.
Then, in the Has words text box in the filter tool, enter
label:buzz. You can test the search to make sure it matches what you want, but it should—the Buzz label is reserved. Click the Next Step button; Gmail will warn you that Filter searches containing label and a few other search operators won't work, but don't worry—our testing shows that for Buzz messages, they seem to work just fine, so click OK and move on.
Finally, tick the checkbox next to Skip the Inbox (Archive it) and then click the Create Filter button. From here on out, your Gmail inbox should be Buzz-free. You can optionally add a special label to your Buzz items at this point, or you could just search
label:buzz whenever you want to check out your Buzz notifications.
Turn Off Buzz Completely
If, on the other hand, you want to turn off Buzz altogether, just find the tiny turn off buzz link at the very bottom of your Gmail window:
With its own version of a computer operating system, Google seeks to change the way personal computers work. Chrome OS will be available to consumers in the second half of 2010. The launch of Chrome OS means another clash between the Internet search giant and Microsoft. According to analysts, Chrome OS could become a viable challenger to the Windows operating systems on which Microsoft’s global empire was built. Chrome OS is an open source project and it will be available to consumers FOR FREE. This may cause Microsoft to bleed to death, but one is for sure — it will surely fire a shot at the heart of rival Microsoft and move their escalating battle further onto Internet turf.
