GMail

[Darren Dirt]

 The Google Gang has been quite busy these past 12 months... and will continue to compete hardily in this free email industry (how is this profitable, exactly?)

PS: Yes kids it's "That Day Of The Year" again... and last year it was the Jobs On The Moon prank. What about this year? methinks it's this but then again you never know what Google is actually offering for real to us gullible masses...

And hey bonus! Log out of your GMail account (if you have one, since you probably have the 2 week cookie enabled) and you'll see this silly increasing-storage counter thingie on there (likely a prank as well).


Welcome to Gmail 

A Google approach to math.     

On the eve of Gmail's one-year birthday, our engineers were toiling away furiously. Notes scribbled all over the walls. Complex calculations on napkins and empty pizza boxes. Millions of M&Ms.

The result?... starting today, we're beginning the roll-out of our new and top secret Infinity+1 storage plan. The key features are:

Write, don't worry.
You want to stop caring about storage. We want to keep giving you more. Today, and beyond.

The gift that keeps on giving.
1130.681201 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user.

No complicated equations. No tough algorithms.
Just this one graph:

Gmail turns 1 today. And we've always loved a good joke. We know we won't reach infinity, but check out what we will do ...

 Ya, all the stuff listed on the above link is true.  I was playing with the new WYSIWYG editor and it seems to work pretty well.

Im gonna start forwarding all my email from work to it i think.

Uhh... Yeah, like I said. Above. In the start of this thread. Above. :rolleyes:

But yeah they've been busy. Hence the topic title.

*slinks into corner grumbling how I had like 3 hours of sleep so I'm a bit of a grouchy wreck right now*

  :angry: PS: Who the bleep changed my thread title? I know I was tired when I posted it, but I recall for sure calling it something about "Google vs. MS/Yahoo Mail" - not some boring single-word title. Yeesh, I feel like an Alan Smithee director or something

IT WAS ME

Sorry would you like it back... just changed it to reflect the merger.

If you merge threads you should probably make a small edit note in the first post to reduce confusion.
