I just tried http://nic.mobi/ on a regular browser and it loaded. Now if I try something like http://google.com/ on my mobile I get a WML page.
So, is it going to be the norm for every site to give a different page depending on the type of device used to access it. If so, this TLD clearly brings nothing new.
I would much rather type a well known URL I use at home and hope it gives me page that works with my mobile instead. Not change the TLD to mobi and just *hope* it is owned by the same company.
This is already possible (sort of). You can forward email to your domain to your Gmail account then set up the 'from' addresses to match your domain. Doing this as far as I can see won't be much different from having Gmail host your email. Personally I'd rather stick to doing this and have a local copy of my emails on my HD as well rather than relying on Google.
"Officer, someone sent me a text message saying they're going to kill me!" "Can you show me?" "Sure, here it... erm, well it was here a minute ago" "Of course it was"
You don't need to worry about that. I've noticed from the notifications from OpenOffice's mailing list that Gmail bounces any attachments it doesn't like without telling you. You won't get pissed off because you'll never know the email existed.
The only thing I want is for all the IM networks to have the ability to talk to users on other IM networks. This way can choose for ourselves which IM is the best for us rather than being forced to use third party clients which connects to every network and is crammed with features for every network/protocol.
...the best way to get through to a human is to call their toll free number. They're not so interested in keeping me on hold when they're paying for it.
According to her website: "I will proceed with years of documentations and photos to back me up". It would be great if they go to court and lose, what will that do for their PR?
The Open University in the UK could be considered to do "online degrees" although they call it "distance learning". According to TQI, an organistation that gives access to official information about the quality of Higher Education, the OU is rated very highly for all subjects.
According to Association of American Publishers publishers don't have a problem with Google indexing their books but they have do a problem with Google making "mak[ing] millions of dollars by freeloading on the talent and property of authors and publishers". Sure, it's great that Google are indexing books but you'll see that Google Print includes sponsored links, why should Google make money in advertising without giving the authors a cut?
Anyone can write anything on Wikipedia without having to back it up with references. Unless someone with in-depth knowledge on the subject area checks it over, these contributions may go unnoticed and could be taken as fact or even used academically.
It doesn't seem right to me that there is no peer review stage between adding a contribution and it going "live". Wikipedia might be more accurate if other Wikipedians had a chance to check the (mandatory!) references and the factuality of contributions first before letting it go live.
Back when I had my first phone, a Nokia 3210, it could go for almost a week without charging. Now, I have a phone with all the features it lasts little more than a day. Personally, if I want to use KHTML while I'm travelling around I'd rather take a laptop and have a phone that lasts a reasonable amount of time.

Could it really be called the Internet if it is limited to only China. Doesn't the "inter" part imply "international"?

Why would I choose to login to Gmail to use this instead of bookmarks or with a Firefox extension?
Could this be the beginnings of the first ever war that takes place over the Internet?
Gmail blocks .exe attachments, so what would a virus scanner be used for?

This is supposedly what Google Talk is trying to achieve.
