Really curios this fact... Yahoo today has announced that it was beginning to test and use its DomainKeys signature to verify every email address, it has increased the available space to all the mailboxes and has announced improved mail searching capabilies and DHTML instant autocomplete features for email addresses.
Google is using all these feature for months in its Gmail service (DomainKeys included) so... maybe Yahoo is observing Gmail with attention and interest? 
Oh Oh... my last full immersion at WPC has caused some lacks on my personal software update... 
Fedora Core 3 is just released and an upgrade of my Linux system is really necessary after seeing the new features (GNOME 2.8, KDE 3.3, Evolution 2.0, Remote Desktop, Helix Player and Firefox only to resume some of them).
I've to start download the ISO ---> priority=high!="/P">
This is one of the most frequent question I've received in the past months and (because I'm not a Google worker ) my answer was only a supposition: better testing or maybe trying to release the final Gmail version with a new and more complete Google suite (Instant Messaging, browser etc.)?
No... the answer seems not be these. According to this article on TechUser, seems that part of the reason why Gmail is invite-only and still in beta is because Google is waiting for patent the idea of scanning emails and serving advertisements based on email contents.
What could happen to other email services if this happens? The Webmail war is really fascinating...
