Learn more in the Google Blog entry and register at the Gmail website. Please take note that sign-up occurs via mobile phone at the moment, and only U.S. citizens can register for now. Plans to add more countries are on the way."

Usual Slashdot 'editor' skills.
Google article has its title changed (to "Better reflect the facts" or "Due to misinterpretations in the levels of accuracy" or "no-one checked the article.").
1TB DVD recorder article still sys it is a 1TB DVD recorder.

"If someone had checked the blog and gmail.com before the post was put live" - you mean the journaists and editors doing their job?
1) You must be new here.
2) Slashdot: News for no-one. Stuff thats Wrong.
3) Only old people complain about innacurate titles.
4) Imagine a cluster of these editors (no need to imagine - check out the nearest bar)
5) Slashcode is shit and still doesn;t work with Firefox.
6) In Soviet Russia Editors actually do their job.
7) ???
8) Profit.

I bet I missed something about hot grits down someones pants.

I post this and I get modded offtopic. You post it and get +5 Interesting. Argh!

ActiveX

[wiredlogic]

When is there going to be a Gmail that doesn't require ActiveX under IE? If they can make it work under Firefox and Opera that why the blasted ActiveX requirement? You can't even get around their detection with a spoofed useragent.

So when will Google OS 0.1 Beta be released??
