GMail storage boost - I don’t get it.
Not “I don’t get it” as in I don’t understand, I just didn’t get the terabyte storage boost that people are talking about:
Maybe I’m not special enough. Anyways, GMail still rocks and the spam filter is absolutely superb. Since I posted my address in public I’ve received about 350 junk mail messages, and GMail has automatically turfed all of them except a dozen. And it seems to learn from the spam (although that’s just me guessing, I have nothing technical to back it up).

It’s going to be nice to see hotmail get it’s ass kicked all over the place. I’m tired of so many so-and-so at hotmail dot coms…. I wonder if gmail will offer custom domain name email in the future?

The GMail storage boost seems to be an isolated event. As someone on Slashdot pointed out, I think someone had a misplaced decimal point.

It’s amazing that Google can create a superb application like this, with an already-enormous user base, and still make stupid mistakes :-)

Yeah, I had teachers in college that used that word a lot, which was where I first heard it… I think the guy was from Searchmont or Goulais, so it’s probably a hick thing.
