I doubt it will be 1 GB too...unless they isntall those micro 1 TB hard drives

Well, they are storing whole webpages and a whole bunch of images, just for the browser.
I don't think it's a matter of space with 10PT it's far enough.

And think Google haven't lied yet; all impossible things they have promised they did at the end.
Look at AdSense.

Like most big computing companies they'll have a whole room with just servers installed on top of each other on racks .

Actually Google has has ALOT of those all across the world.

well, i read 2dae frm the newspapers tt Google was attacked by other rivals like M$...they said Google, which plans to scan email content electronically, might invade into the users' privacy n it can distribute incoming ads beside incoming messages...

eg. an email sent frm a friend 2 u abt lets say an upcoming holiday will include links to airline n hotels...

Well, nobody ever cared about that very same way Google displays ads on their search page (well, most people). So i do not understand why it's such a big problem all of the sudden now .

Google needs to pay their bills too.

Well, the problem is that they put adsense on public (or thought to be public) contents (eg: websites and searchresults). Now they're gonna add it to private contents which somehow evidences that they can read you emails.
Well, IMO, they could read your mail anyway if they wished. AdSense is a totally automatic thing.
It's "almost" the same as if Hotmail would have AdSense: when you read your mails, you see automatically generated ads related to what's in them.

And what's with Carnivore, Echelon or that sort of systems which catch suspicious e-mails and store them for HUMAN revision?

I think Google's on his right to do that, they have to earn something from this, they're not going to offer this for *free*...

I really don't know what i would do with 1G of space in an e-mail.. it would sort of be totally wasted.. i'll stick to my 15mb gawab account thank you (www.gawab.com)
