Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites)
bonhomme_de_neige writes "Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail accounts do not bounce, but nor do they arrive in the recipient's Inbox - they vanish mysteriously into the aether. Joel Johnson writes in his Gizmodo weblog that invitations he sent to a Hotmail address bounced (this even received coverage from ZDNet). Search Engine Roundtable writes that several ISPs are blocking Gmail. It's already well-documented that Yahoo moves Gmail invites into the Bulk Mail folder. I've personally confirmed the Hotmail and Yahoo blocking." Please note: I've not been able to verify this one way or another.
Title: Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites)
First sentence: Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail...[don't] arrive in the recipient's Inbox
Yup, clearly only talks about invitations, Einstein.
Well, if you had read the fscking post, you'd realize that there is no mention of normal mail between hotmail and gmail: it's referring specifically to gmail invites.
Okay. Let's read the first sentence of the article body:
Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail accounts do not bounce, but nor do they arrive in the recipient's Inbox - they vanish mysteriously into the aether.
Wait. So the article asserts that not only are invitations being eaten, but also regular e-mails?
Perhaps if you looked at a mirror, you'd realize that you're a worthless sack of shit who failed third-grade reading comprehension.
LMFAO. Oh no! You caught me! Gee whiz Beav, I thought we'd get away with it.

Dude, seriously, you're a fucking retard. I'm running Linux right now. I fucking hate Hotmail and don't use it. But you truly need to pull your head out of your idiot ass and realize that COMPANIES WITH FORTY MOTHERFUCKING BILLION DOLLARS DON'T FUCKING DIE. Idiot.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
Or alternatively people could do something for the even increasing list of countries America is booming to the ground and then abandoning. Remember Afghanistan, now the media spot-lite is off it both America and the UK have all but abandoned it without for filing there regeneration promises. Its also interesting to see opium poppy production up under the Northmen Alliance, nice to see the War on Drugs going so well.
But I just don't get the excitement people are having about Gmail. If any other company offered a similar service (reading your emails and sending you spam based on those emails) nearly all slashdotters would be outraged. But, when Google does it, it's perfectly OK.
FYI, even if Google is a decent corporation and will respect your privacy, it does not mean that will always be the case!
