I was a beta tester for the first round Microsoft Broadband Networking software & hardware. The networking software is very good, especially for home users who are new to networking. I have 2 laptops and 3 desktops wired with Microsoft wireless networking cards & networking cable. It was only when I got the base station and cards (beta) from Microsoft that I set up a "complete" network at home to replace my two desktop peer to peer network.
I guess I don't mind either way... I just won't be getting any more free MS hardware. I may now have a chance to check out "the competition."
currently https://www.gmail.com redirects to gmail.com but the fact that the domain is active and there is some sort of security certificate (not completely set up, the servers name www.gmail.com does not match the certificate's name gmail.google.com)
omg!! after some investigation, I realize that people are harvesting gmail addresses to get more invites and selling those on eBay. Apparently it takes a day or two before a new user can invite two "friends" to use the service. (and if they sign up themselves, they can keep selling them!)
Gosh, I hope google catches on to this quickly... people are making a fortune.
My gmail account works perfectly fine, in fact Google is letting current email users pick two "friends" to join. After seeing this post and the interest, I thought that maybe I should sell my two accounts on eBay... I loaded up eBay and did a search for gMail and to my amazement, dozens of people are already selling them and getting up to $50 for each!
Wow... $100 USD or making two friends happy? Tough choice... btw popular ones like thunder@gmail are gone already but lightning@gmail.com is still available... hmmm $$$ or friends? grrr....
help! I don't want to be sued!!! how can I buy linux license so sco will be happy? how to pay sco to buy linux?? what to do?? will beta test for free license!?!?! SCO has monopoly on linux and won't let me buy licenses.:(:P
Well Yahoo and Microsoft are attacking Google, so why should Google not fight back? I think it would be a brilliant move.
I am not worried about the Google Homepage ever being cluttered, it just won't happen. Google has many services that are not listed on their homepage ( http://www.google.com/options/ ) but that come up when a user needs them in the search results.
Also Google results have been worse recently because just before they added the billion pages, an update messed up giving spam websites an advantage. It's getting better, but they still haven't completely fixed it.
