You are currently using 1 MB (0%) of your 1000 MB.


i have 33 emails

and have around 4 tabs on each email

but what i reali want to know is wtf this is




it appears when i view a email

1 Gb = 1,000 Mb = 1,000,000 kb = 1,000,000,000 b = 8,000,000,000 bit
Since Giga- stands for 10^9, Mega- for 10^6 and kilo- for 10^3


1 Gib = 1,024 Mib = 1,048,576 kib = 1,073,741,824 b = 8,589,934,592 bit
Since Gibi- stands for 2^30, Mebi- for 2^20 and kibi- for 2^10


So we should tecnically be calling them Gibibyte, Mebibyte and kibibyte. And remember: the unit B stands for Bel, like deciBels (dB)

So Gmail are technically using 1Gb (1,000 Mb), but they probably (rather technically) mean 1,000 Mib and thus it's "more than 1,000 Mb".

ok? good

I decided to google it
http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/calculate/
however, i read that and it confuses the c*** outta me, first it says in file stoarge, 1 gigabyte is 1024 megabytes but in terms of the "New IEC Standard", it uses the system described by Keystorm above.. so i dunno, but i say, let them gimme 1000 MB, i wun notice the 24 newayz
