Honestly, who are they hiding their ship from? Any percieved enemies are probably without the ability to fight a ship to ship battle for an extended amount of time.
But, this may be of interest to smugglers. LoL
Where exactly does it say that users will get 1GB of storage? The only mention of storage is this:
Google, by contrast, is planning a service to be supported by advertising that will permit its users to store very large amounts of mail at no cost.
One internal Google study put the operational cost of maintaining electronic mail storage at less than $2 per gigabyte.
All that I can see is that it will cost them less than $2 a gig to store user's email. The idea that they would offer 1GB of storage per user is insane at best and Google doesn't strike me as crazy.
Yahoo offers (now) about 4 megs of space for free and Hotmail is around 3 megs or so, I believe. Google only needs to offer 20 or 30 megs of storage that that would be on par with the other's paid for services to intice users away from them.
Or I could be totally wrong and missed where it states they are giving 1GB of space to each user...
1. Sending email.
2. Instant messaging.
3. Creating a document for printing.
4. Balancing their check books.
5. Browsing the internet.
6. Managing digital pictures.
7. Amusing themselves with various games.
Purchase a user friendly distrobution of Linux such as SuSE or Mandrake or any other flavor you may like. All of the above should be easily accomplished with such. Install it and sleep better at night knowing that even if your mom saves your_document.pif from Saul in Arabia she can click on it till she is blue in the face it still wont run.
I recently put together some salvaged parts I had laying around and built a box for my mom. She has been running SuSE 9.0 for almost a year now and I haven't had to fix anything. (knock on wood);)

They are tossing in licenses with other product deals so they can't say that SCOsource is actually creating all of the 6 figures.
