Google News
One of the most revolutionary things that has happened to my Internet news browsing habits happened awhile back when I discovered Google News. They basically have webbots scan news sites and make decisions on which news articles to report.
Yeah, they make mistakes at times… but here is an interesting find I noticed today.
The webbots from Google News posted a link to a weblog —COMMENT— section. Interesting, huh? I like the idea that a comment section can be news worthy… but on the other hand, are we getting a tinge of “non-worthy” news sources?
To be fair however, it is a customized Google News page. Here is the link to what is highlighted in the photo: http://www.blogherald.com/?comments_popup=1634

Tera-GMail
Here’s a picture of Gmail. Today I learned that the storage had jumped from 1,000 MB to 1,000,000 MB. Yeah, that’s from a gigabyte to a terabyte. Some have said that their storage didn’t go up… but mine sure did. I wonder if it will stick around…
I greyed out my email address and a person’s name that I emailed. I also put a box around the storage limit, and copied it to the same photo after I resized it so you could see clearly the full terabyte in all its glory.
Anything else in the image is original and non doctored.
