World's First 1GB Web Mail May Not Be From Google

this article, the world's first 1GB web mail is not going to be Google, but from the largest Israeli web portal. With 30Mb per attachment, it seems to be quite useful as well. Looks like an idea of extra-large e-mail storage is becoming really hot these days."
You don't get it, the story is about services that are about to be launched; Spymac is already in business, so it doesn't qualify... sheesh, was it that hard?
Tuff that Smatters.
I'm German, so I feel qualified to answer this comment. Given the choice between an Israeli webmailer and Google, I'd choose Google. Given the choice between my measly 25MB account and Google, I'd stick with downloading my mails to a machine I control.
The USA have laughable privacy provisions, but whenever I hear about software from Israel, it's either espionage or war related. Considering that, I don't think I need to hear about their privacy laws before I can make the decision.
(No offense, they're living in a warzone, that's bound to readjust priorities.)

I'd agree with you that a war of extermination is going on in the Middle East, but it ain't the Palestinians who are doing the exterminating.
Personally, I won't be using any Israeli mail service. With Bush & Ashcroft's nifty Patriot Act, I could easily be tagged as a terrorist, and imprisoned without a trial.
At least Germany admitted it wronged people. The same can't be said for Israel which perpetrates ethnic cleansing on a daily basis and refuses to acknowledge it's doing anything wrong.
It was bad when Hitler wanted to make Germany a 'pure' state but when every Israeli Prime Minister says the goal is to have Israel be a jewish only state, that's ok.
- Israel is the cause of Middle East instability.
- Palestinians are a defenseless people that are daily oppressed and humiliated.
The only way there will be peace in the Middle East is when Israel owns up to its racist philosophy and takes responsibility for their actions, beginning with the land theft of 1948.Use a spell checker before ranting about dumb people, next time.
At least I can post and reveal who I am. You must hide your anti-semitic anti-zionist views behind a shadow.
/. lobby.
Now what does 1 GB of webmail have to do with the supposed ethnic cleansing that Israel "perpetrates on a daily basis", to which you have provided no proof? Where are those Israeli death camps where the Palestinians are sent to be killed in showers and their bodies burned in ovens?
Israel is a Jewish state, but it acknowledges that there are non-jews there and allows them to follow their own customs. Oh and heck, there are Arab Knesset members...
I suggest you answer the white courtesy cluephone that is ringing in the
Then you obviously haven't heard of a little group called Hamas, which has a charter calling for the extermination of the Israelis (with text lifted from Nazi documents from the 1930s included in it).
Hamas is an independant terrorist organisation. Holding the entire nation of Palestine responsible for the actions of an extreme minority would be like invading Ireland because of the IRA!

Hey Coward! Here's a thought! How about the rest of the world just seal you poor, undeserving patriots into your Diety granted lands to prevent any incursion from non-similiar peoples. What a load of crap you're spewing. Let's hear your fabulous explanation of why the early Romans wanted to shit down your necks? How about the Babylonians or the Mesopatamians? OOooh! why not just say why everyother culture to interact with yours has decided to get rid of you or enslave you! Maybe your pissing off someone's god, no that can't be right, you have the only TRUE god, guess that's who's pissed.
Maybe you you could pretend you're just human and fucking pissing people off! I'd prefer to stay in my country and have you stay in your! Oh sorry, you don't really have a country, just the latest wheel-n-steal piece of shit real estate.
And as for Japan, they encountered a superior military force, not a superior culture. How strange that you didn't quote the experiences of the American Indian as your underdog. How silly of me, that genocide was white washed with Manifest Destiny, an oddly resonant premise with Israels'. Guess those early Judeo-Christians learned from the best.
You are the very kind of person that the average guy thinks of when the word Jewish is used. You probably think the same of me and anti-semite. But I don't hate you for a religious view. I hate you, personally! for pretending you are civilized and righteous.
Damn barbarian xenophobes.
Just because I'm not real, doesn't mean I don't exist.
Do you not understand the meaning of the word accurate? He said that he feels qualified to answer this comment, and he most probably does. He also said that he would choose Google over an Israeli company, and that too is probably true. Therefore, his statement is accurate. You should look it up in a dictionary.
It's appropriate, too, because he wanted to say why a German might not want to go with an Israeli service for reasons other than Nazism. So there you have it. Accurate, and appropriate.
