G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate Gmail one-year birthday, they're giving everyone one more gigabyte. Their plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving everyone more space as they are able.
Google said: "...And we've always loved a good joke. We know we won't reach infinity, but check out what we will do ..."
Try think it back, how many times your boss piss on you, throw you dirty words, and yet, you still keep quiet.
You work like a dog, crawl on the floor, spending all your time for company benefits, and what your boss said?
"Keep up the good work!" (5 words)
If you have done something wrong which is out of your expectation or beyond your control, again, what your boss said?
"^#@^@^@$#%#$@#@#@%@#$@%$ #%%#$%#@&*^%#%$@%^#*@$%&%&&&&$* &$#$^*&*$^&%^@&!#@$#!^^%#@!$^@*&$*$*" (5 minutes)
...and yet, your boss will keep emphasizing:
"First rule, boss is always right"
"Second rule, if boss is wrong, refer to first rule."
Netscape is going to release a new version of its powerful Internet browser very soon. Currently, the BETA version is available for download.
Netscape browser core will still be the Mozilla. So... no question, the Netscape 8.0 will be as powerful as Mozilla Firefox. Hoo-ray!
About the Mozilla Foundation
Established in July, 2003, with start-up support from America Online's Netscape division, the Mozilla Foundation exists to provide organizational, legal, and financial support for the Mozilla open-source software project. The Foundation has been incorporated as a California not-for-profit corporation to ensure that the Mozilla project continues to exist beyond the participation of individual volunteers, to enable contributions of intellectual property and funds and to provide a vehicle for limiting legal exposure while participating in open-source software projects.
For those people who still stuck with Microsoft Internet Explorer, and still feel the browser is great, is safe, is wonderful, ...keep enjoying it. Hopefully when the next time you turn on your computer, the spyware, pop-ups, viruses all around, then you can just blame those anti-viruses software is not working, and not Microsoft Internet Explorer fault!

Switching the Rendering Engine
Whenever a web browser (such as Netscape Browser or Internet Explorer) opens a web page, it uses a program called a rendering engine (sometimes called a layout engine or display engine) to "paint" the web page in your browser window. In theory, all web browsers should display the same web page in the same way, however, for a variety of reasons this is not always the case.
For example, Microsoft's web site uses features that have been designed by Microsoft itself (as opposed to using features that have been established by international standards). Therefore, to use all of the features on microsoft.com you must use Internet Explorer's rendering engine. Other web browsers, such as Netscape Browser, are based on an open-source, standardized rendering engine developed by Mozilla. This rendering engine is preferred by many people when accessing sites that do not depend on Microsoft controls.
For several years now, many web surfers have had to struggle with the issue of which web browser to use. Netscape Browser neatly solves this problem by including both rendering engines. You can set Netscape Browser as your default rendering engine, and then switch to Internet Explorer's rendering engine for sites that require it.
Major email providers are increasing their mailbox sizes by almost a factor of 100 to compete with Google. Still with their offers of ~100Mb for free users they all fall short to match Gmail's 1GB offer.
In addition to getting into e-mail business, Google is forcing its competitors to spent more money on hardware and get less from the potential premium account subsribers.
Apparently Google is triyng to pull its competitors into the battlespace where it has total dominance in all large scale hardware experience, user appeal and interface design, and cheaper costs per GB.
This looks just like the Arm Race during the Cold War. United States were able to drag Soviet Union into the financial battlespace, where they were superior. This eventually lead to fall of the USSR as we knew it under the unberable military spengings.
But there is one thing that makes it even more funny: Google has limited number of Gmail users (=total required disk space) while its competitors have to provide bigger storage for the existing huge user base.
If Google keeps Gmail user population limited for another year, while Hotmail and Yahoo servers will get filled to a 100% with the spam, then... Oh well, Microsoft, has way too mach money to follow the path of the Soviet Union...
