Yeh its going up by 100kb/s every 2-3 seconds and it use to go to 10kb/s every second, apparently we will get 2.75mb - 3mb more on our gmail accounts each day, so in a year we will have 3GB :)

Lol Gmail owns Hotmail so much :p 2.05GB for free, and pop access, 10mb file attachments and rich text formatting :woot:

Wow! especially the bit on..

Google needs a massive amount of storage. This week, Google said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it would boost its investment in storage and servers to around US$500 million, a 50-percent jump from last year.

Next I hope they upgrade file attacments to 100mb - that would proper own :cool:?:DD

Agreed...

Hell knows what else google has lined up (messenger, browser etc). I wonder how things stay so secret at google.

Also, is it only me who noticed the Google Ride Finder[/b]> in google labs.

It shows you the actual position of taxis in the US (i'm guessing they use GPS or summint).

The Gmail storage counter will stop at 2075MB :no: :(

var CP = [
 [ 1112331600000, 1025 ],
 [ 1112439600000, 2050 ],
 [ 1113062400000, 2075 ]
];

Hint: View Page Source... ;)

It will hit 2075MB on 10 April 2005! :blink:

After 750,000 seconds or 208.(3) hours or 8.(6) days from 2 April 2005 :sleep:

Those are the points i think that it slows down?

Cos its slowed at 2050 so at 2075 it'll slow down like hell :yes:

I don't think so... because initial storage was 1000MB...

Maybe those are points were it will stop...

First time, it was a faster increase to 1025MB, then a slow one to 2050 and it will end at 2075...

,Apr 2 2005, 14:11]oh well, spoiled my fun...i thought we would have an extra GB by next year, oh well :(.  but i'm happy with 2075MB :) ...if only the attachment limit would be increased......

Sorry... Maybe I'm wrong... :cry:

I want the attachment to be increased too...

You can make a suggestion to Google at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/

BTW: Now Gmail works with Opera 8.0 too :)

It is gonna stop at 2075mb probably, and google will manually add storage on, as if you put your system clock a year forward it says 2075 megabytes (and counting).

God this 2050mb -> 2075mb is awkward when you know what its gonna be :(

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
