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.
And since I'm on slashdot, I guess that means I hate you.

Apparently Microsoft developed a very powerful pop-up blocking technology (NOCOM) that they could not integrate into Internet Explorer due to anti-trust concerns (after all, SOMETHING had to be NOT integrated into the operating system). Thankfully, they managed to repurpose it into Hotmail, thereby avoiding a total loss of their investment.
Deomocratic Military? Surely an oxymoron.

and what the hell are you doing picking rearden as your gmail id !?!
Dumping galt and frisco's not going to do anything good for you

Well, about privacy. Gmail seems to be scanning all it's mail. that will include the mail from people that send mail to gmail users. but don't forget that you sometimes HAVE to send mails to people with gmail accounts. just think about what email providers will come up with next. "your mail will now have a 4% chance of being send to a random user, he or she can then pay us in order to know where the mail is from, we think this is a very geeky way to create a dating service, if you press accept, you agree, otherwise you won't be able to use our service." the bigger companies are the only ones that can stop a privacy disaster.
Me too! See my email addy above.
