Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

I fail to see how this ever growing limit is benifiting anyone at the moment. There shall be no-one who has used up 1GB of e-mails legitimately and be wanting more.

Now, please. Just because the limit keeps getting (theoretically) higher, doesn't mean you can spam Neowin about it. It's not benifiting you. Not at all.

Sn00pY. You need to relax, and leave the guy alone. Same with you Chode. I think highly of both of you, and to see you two fight it out just lowers both mine, and others respect for you guys.

OK...true i was being a bit pedantic...Sorry Chode. didnt think we would "flame war" over that...but hey...back to topic eh mate?

You are currently using 14 MB (1%) of your 1202 MB.

muhaha!

[if you wish to pm me Chode to calm the situation feel free - again sorry though]

Thing is, people. What you fail to understand is. Yes, we've gathered it's raising the bar every few seconds. But. So what? We're all going at the same stage. Hell, at this moment in time, it's just who-ever can be arsed posting first about how theirs grew.

Seriously guys, lay off the spam in this topic. As that is, what I regard it as.

A discussion about GMail and it's attempts to win this 'e-mail battle' is far more suited IMO. Again, I ask - lay of the spam?

[off-topic]Ahh, .Atlantis. The voice of reason.

Sorry Sn00py, having a terrible couple of weeks and I over-reacted. I'm sorry.[/off-topic]

Gmail feels very slow to me. Please everyone quit refreshing :p

Honestly, I don't understand how they can do it. They've got so many people out there that have g-mail accounts. Some, have more than one. Pretty soon Google will have to build additional buildings for more servers alone. I'll admit, having my gmail account for almost a year now, and I've probably only had about 20 pieces of junk mail. I've never deleted a single e-mail and I'm still only using 15% of my account. TO all those who are using more... something is seriously wrong.

After importing my e-mails into outlook... I have over 22,000 e-mails (most of which are forum posts and work related)

Google is just wasting space.

Like I said earlier. Theoretical space. IMO They don't allocate 1GB per new account. They just increase the size as more e-mails arrive. Therefore this major update that's sparked such controversy, is actually just text more so than anything else.

You didnt hear.. I forget where, somewhere in the midwest.... Google is having so much trouble with lack of power for their servers.. that they are building a new compound right down the road from a nuclear power plant.. Solely for their servers.. because they have so many and draw so much current that where they had them couldnt power them well enough..

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
