With 1GB email storage, I don't see anyone wanting to search through that much crap just to find anything. Result: GB upon GBs of space wasted, and think of the SPAM that would accumulate, which Google must pay for to store!

"Put up and Shut up"
I like it!
I simply looked at the end of the press release.
Perhaps you need to upgrade your reading skills.
The way I see it, this is like when domain names were set free and available by anyone to sell. Except that song can be sold more than once.
If anything, I think we'll see prices fall the same way they fell for domain names with all the competition.

There is a distinction, you know.
Remember, this isn't censorship, it's just that they redirect you to a censorship product ad.
