Jack In and Enjoy: Are you a Yahoo! ?

Are you a Yahoo! ?

Well, the war between email providers had begun ages ago, but this time they declare it on different issue. As we all might know it already, Gmail offers a storage capacity for 1000 megabytes or 1 gigabyte!! Hell, some people even only have 8 gigabytes in their HD. With that size of storage you can still keep your collection of pervert emails. From what I heard and read, Gmail (which is formed by Google) will scan every email you get, then they will show you in the banner about things based on the content of each email.

For some people, this is kinda silly, even we all know that the scanner only a machine or program that won't have personal reaction to some kinky or dirty words in the emails (hehehehe...) but still, we always want to have the feeling that we are the first one who read every email we got.

So, if you prefer big storage for free, you can go with Gmail, but if you still want to have a very secure privacy about your email, you can stick with whatever email provider you are with at the moment. I haven't got any account with Gmail but I might have one or two just to store some of my sh*t in there (no, I don't collect kinky and pervert emails).

There is one thing that keeps me wondering. What will happen if someone send you an email to your Gmail account and saying some extra-ordinary words such as: "nuclear bomb"; "biological weapon"; "VX-gas"; or "napalm in the ground zero". LOL. I'm just wondering what kind of advertisement that will pop-ups to your screen when you read this kind of email.

I'm just waiting for Hotmail to be involved in this unpredictable-long-without ending war between email providers. What will come up next time? Email that can has smell? LOL.

Damn, I gotta log out now, the library is closing. I'll be back online again (as usual) tonight.
