You know what really scares me sometimes? Just how similar to Brian Lewis I really am. For the last year or so I’ve read pretty much nothing but classics and the occasional new Michael Crichton book. Brian Lewis’s favorite books? All classics. Son of a bitch. Now I’ll probably have to read Lewis’s favorites just so I can tell him that they’re not all that good.
Oh, and Lewis doesn’t like Bush, either. Gotta give him credit on that one, even if I’m not sure that W. will be the worst President ever.
When the hell is Donald Rumsfeld gonna resign?
I signed into Yahoo! Mail today and discovered that it now offers 100 MB of space. That’s a pretty good upgrade from the 4 MB it offered up until now. I had to clean out my Inbox every three months or so. If I keep up that pace with, now, 25 times more space … I shouldn’t have to delete a message for the next six years!
It seems obvious that Yahoo! has made this free upgrade to its email service as a preemptive strike against Google’s Gmail, which will offer 1 GB of disk space. For free. Yahoo’s 100 MB isn’t as much, but it does make me think about MP3 players, where you probably don’t really need to carry every song you’ve ever heard.
But this is a big move on Yahoo’s part. I didn’t expect it. When Gmail goes final or into a public beta, I had planned on making it my primary email address for the disk space alone. Now, switching from Yahoo! Mail would mean telling everyone my new address, and that question pops up: Do I really need a gig for my email?
