Yeah, it's true. I'm a fan. A happy fan. She did an outstanding job. I think she's going to make Simon a lot of money!
Here I go again, posting about Gmail. :-)
Regarding the privacy issue... If you don't like it, then don't sign up for it. And don't send email to anyone who uses it. But stop acting like Google is trying to invade your privacy.
And oh yeah, what about the anti-virus & anti-spam software that is used all the time to scan emails? Are the privacy groups going after them? I doubt it...

A lifetime of Digital Storage
Reuters was reporting on the Google glitch that temporarily gave it's Gmail users a terabyte of storage when it mentioned that "one terabyte is roughly the equivalent of 16 days of continuously running DVD movies." Wow, that's some serious storage. It got me thinking.... A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes. And my first PC was a
286 that came with 4MB's of RAM and a 40MB hard drive.
Will we reach a point where each individual will have enough storage available to save a lifetime of digital information? It's probably not a question of if but when.

Your Couch for a GMail Account
I thought this was hilarious! I found the link over at
How Now, BrownPau's site.
This guy is offering to trade a Gmail account for a couch. Haha... The fortunate few who have Gmail beta accounts get to give 2 invites to friends to join Gmail. So he's willing to trade one of his invites for a couch. That just cracks me up!

Cell Phone Status Symbol
If you've got an extra $20,000 laying around, and you want to secure you place in the "
yeah it's expensive, but I'm worth it club," then you just have to buy a cell phone from
Vertu!
Note to self - the inexpensive, outdated phone you have is just fine. No one is laughing at you. And hey, your mom still thinks you're the coolest...
