But Hotmail still lacks all the great features of Gmail such as labels, conversations, and keyboard shortcuts. Hotmail won't be nearly as good as Gmail is.
So what do you do when someone uses your WiFi connection for illegal purposes such as massive uploads of bootlegged movies, for instance? Won't you get blamed if you're sued by the MPAA or whoever?
One of my friends who was really into Everquest was bought into all the hype about Horizons. He had thankfully retired from Everquest a while before Horizons was released and actually acting like a normal person for a while. However, once he found out about Horizons, he was like, "Dude! This is going to be the best game EVER! All my old Everquest friends are going to be playing it! Check out all the cool features! You gotta buy it when it comes out!" I didn't think it sounded nearly as good as he said.
I've never been a fan of subscription based gaming. So when it came out, him and a few real life friends and several online friends bought it and played it for a while. In fact, he made me install his copy on my computer to try it out on his account. I must say that I was not impressed with what I saw. My computer exceeded the recommended requirements and I have a DSL connection, but the game lagged to the extreme. I mean, you couldn't even walk with nobody else in sight without your guy jumping all over the screen. I quickly uninstalled it from my computer in disgust.
My friend kept trying to say that, "Oh, it's still in development. They haven't implemented all the awesome stuff yet. The game still rocks!"
He and all his friends quit playing after another month or so.
Everytime he wants me to try a new game, I just remind him how stupid Horizons was. I mean, playable dragons? That just takes all the awesomeness factor away from them.
To be fair, though, my friend was right that they had some ideas that sounded good, but the realization of those features weren't so great.
Looks like in the beginning they didn't capitalize the internet, either.
From SNPP.com:
Carl: Hey, you know what I'm looking forward to? The future.
Have you heard about this internet thing?
Lenny: Internet?
Carl: Yeah, it's the internetting they invented to line swim
trunks. [holds up a pair of trunks caresses his face
lining] It provides a comforting snugness.

Of course we all know that that eating carrots != improved vision; as it was just British propaganda to cover up their new radar systems by claiming their pilots ate carrots to help them see at night.
Some news or movie review show likes to show "film flubs" of mistakes in movies. Recently they showed one from Spider-Man 2 at the scene in the cafe when Doc Ock throws the car through the window at Peter Parker and Mary Jane. At first the chair Mary Jane is sitting on goes flying backwards, but when the camera changes angles, the chair she was sitting on hasn't moved at all.

Maybe I need to eat more carrots or something.

That's like saying Mozilla can't use the five-letter sequence "zilla"!

(4,18 Joule = 1 Calories for those Americans who don't understand the metric system)
Actually 4.18 Joules = 1 calorie. 1000 calories = 1 Calorie (or kilocalorie), so you need to consume 1000 times as less kilojoules.
For the uninformed, the bad guys in Spaceballs consume fresh canned air because they lack (non-stale) air on Planet Spaceball.
Aren't all myths erroneous?
You can change Mozilla's splash screen if you really want.
