This title is very bizarre, but it's not mine.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin discuss the company's post-IPO culture and Google's fledgling e-mail service.

I don't know why I stay on with crappy Hotmail (since 97, before Microsot), but they are feeling the Google e-mail pressure and just made a huge expansion in number of megabytes you're allowed to have for free. Before it was 1 megabyte, and now it's 250 megabytes, just a few weeks ago.

I guess I'm a bit gun shy of buying stock in a company that produces ... ??? What? They provide a service ... that they don't charge for. I'm gonna take a pass, thankyouverymuch.

It would be fascinating if Google actually was charged with a violation of the "quiet period" rule over the Playboy article. Imagine -- a lawsuit that could be defended by arguing that nobody reads Playboy for the articles!

My "throwaway" account at Yahoo did the same - from 6mb to 100mb a couple months back.

Competition is good.

As usual, I won't believe this happened until I see pictures (of the article).
