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

xPertCodert writes "According to 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."

    How about all the subtle ways that better technology affects lives? With all that e-mail capacity, maybe a few Israeli students won't have to take the crosstown bus to meet and swap files.

    Israeli buses, of course, are notorious targets for "suicide" (homicide) bombers. Students form a disproportionately large number of the bombers' victims. So maybe a life or two will be spared thanks to this service. Am I stretching? Possibly. But it's food for thought, nonetheless.

      The term "homicide bomber" has got to be one of the most idiotic terms ever invented. First of all, it's only applied to suicide bombers, you never hear about bombers who don't kill themselves refered to that way. It's just a euphamism for people who, for whatever reason, belive that calling a suicide bomber a suicide bomber somehow makes their crime less wrong. But it's completely redundant. Why not just call them 'bombers'.

    Which is different of being opposed to the occupation of Palestine by Israel. Not agreeing with Israeli policy does not make you anti-semitic.

    well most of europe is VERY anti sematic right now..esp france. This is do to an increased muslim immigrant population. The muslims are by and large nice people who have had anti isreal propaganda shoved down thier throats for generations. Look at how anti israel and pro palestinain most western european counties are. Of course this may be because some goverments , like the French, take bribes from people like Saddam Hussien to espouse rhetoric in favor of facists.

    If you are opposed to this occupation, you are clearly antisemitic. The occupation was forced to happen due to Palestinian aggression. If it was ended, it would result in the creation of a state whose #1 goal was the invasion of Israel and extermination of the Israelis. Those who want Israel to submit to the aggression of its enemies are either antisemitic, or just outright dumb.

    when every Israeli Prime Minister says the goal is to have Israel be a jewish only state, that's ok.

    Of course it's okay! Why shouldn't it be okay? Israel is their land, and they can do with it as they please. They're surrounded by people who want to eradicate them, who will even blow themselves up just to kill a few of the hated Jews, so why should they be forced to include Arabs or Palestinians in their country? Granted, Gaza is arguably Palestinian, so I think Israel should just let it go and become its own country, and keep the troublesome Palestinians out of Israel for good. Jews only. What's wrong with that? I'm not a Jew, and I don't see anything wrong with them having their own land...

    Seriously, there is nothing wrong with ethnic cleansing if you aren't killing people. It can be necessary to preserve a culture from foreign hordes. The Palestinians, despite (or because of) poverty, still manage to outreproduce the Israelis. If they let them into Israel proper, soon they'll be the majority race there - just like with the Chinese immigrants in Canada, or the Muslim immigrants in France. They're a human tidal wave of people crashing over those who rightfully belong there. Trying to stop it is not wrong.
