I can’t remember the last time I really laughed at a comedy
Until The Office. I know I’ve been talking about it so much that by the time you watch it you’d be cringing in your seat wondering what the hell is wrong with me.
The wicked witch is dead
Heard news today that Goggles is leaving. Break out the champagne! He’s living proof that life is not fair, and if he here to drive that point home to me, does it now mean I get the point? Do I really?
More Gmail vs Y! Mail
Short answer: If you’ve already a Yahoo! account, and are using multiple services (addressbook, messenger, mail) then the frills you’re used to would probably irk you enough to not use GMail as your primary account.
If you need lots of space and would go and check your email all day, and don’t mind a spartan, utilitarian interface, go for GMail.
