Gmail Adds Features

Posted by timothy on from the it-seems-to-work-well dept.

tommertron writes "Gmail rolled out a host of new features today. Big improvement in the contacts list, with the ability to search it and organize messages according to contact. Also, you can now forward all incoming gmail to any email account, but, according to Google, this feature is only 'free for now.' Does this mean gmail will start charging for some features? Meanwhile, Internet News is reporting that on Monday, some gmail accounts contained an Atom link for reading your email summaries in a news reader. Also meanwhile, my decrepit Hotmail account still hasn't given me that promised 250 megabytes ..."

  1. RIP Rodney Dangerfield (1922 to 2004) by Average_Joe_Sixpack · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said.

    Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement.

      That would be funny if Rodney Dangerfield hadn't actually died, as he actually did.

      God you're an idiot.

      This is off topic, but glad you posted it.
      I'm a big fan of his, and didn't know. Have more details? or what day did it happen? :( I still think "back to school" was his greatest film.

      God bless him, hopefully he's in a better place

      Sincerely,

    I seem to have perpetual invites at the moment. I don't give a damn about anyone giving me anything. I have six invites now to the people that can reply to this the quickest and actually want an invite.

    I'm sure I will get more later on.

  6. Rodney Dangerfield dead at 82 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - comedian Rodney Dangerfield was found dead in his Los Angelas home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
