so gmail turned one today. in celebration, they stopped caring about storage.
basically the amount of storage is rolling up every second. it looks like a gas pump. as i'm posting this, it should be rolling from 1311 MB to 1312 MB.
this is just very very ... well, new.
and yes i'm 99% sure its an april fool's joke
UPDATE: i guess they'll stop at 2GB. for now.
re: april fool's
GoogleGulp appears to be their april fool's joke

From the FAQ:
11. When will you take Google Gulp out of beta?
Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory – and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom.
haha, not bad
