So GMAIL is for real. Awesome.Lunar jobs were the joke. Ah, ya think so?
Google Planning to Roll Out E-Mail Service claiming 1Gb of free email, killer spam filters, and a great new webmail interface. They’ll likely have Google ads attached to your messages, but I can’t wait to see it tomorrow (hopefully it’s not just an April Fools prank). VIA MEFI
You only need to read the first comment post on Slashdot to see why this Google Gmail thing won’t happen… Somehow I doubt Google could prevent the amount of abuse that will occur if this is a free system…
This is one of my favorite commens: “And in unrelated news, Google has won a multi-billion dollar contract with NSA for its cooperation in setting up and maintaining an “information storage and retrieval facility” dedicated to national security and total information awareness purposes…”

If this is true I’m signing up for sure. No more stupid limits on your attachments etc… Google email would rule. April fools?? Maybe… This would be a costly service to maintain… 1 gig of storage space!? Hard to believe.

What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a fast, powerful, and spyware-free way to download large files online. Instead of downloading files from a central server, you download from other people who are also downloading the file, instead of from a single central server. The more people downloading a file, the faster it will be for everyone.
How do I download a file?
Installing the BitTorrent plugin takes less than 10 seconds. If you’re a Windows user, click here and choose “Open” to install. (Mac or Unix users, look here.) After it’s installed, click the filename below to download!
The Untitled Project is rooted in a base interest in the nature of power. With the removal of all traces of text from the photographs, the project explores the manifestation of power between large groups of people in the form of public and semi-public language. The absence of the printed word not only draws attention to the role text plays in the modern landscape but also simultaneously emphasizes alternative forms of communication such as symbols, colors, architecture and corporate branding. In doing this, it serves to point out the growing number of ways in which public voices communicate without using traditional forms of written language.
The reintroduction of the text takes written language out of the context of its intended viewing environment. The composition of the layouts remain true to the composition of their corresponding photographs in order to draw attention to relative size, location and orientation. The isolation of the text from its original graphic design and accompanying logos, photographs and icons helps to further explore the nature of communication in the urban landscape as a combination of visual and literal signifiers.
Here are two free stats sites that actually work quite well.
