Thanks to a feedback of Vazz on my thread about Gmail, I've discovered Spymac, the first real 1Gb free email account.
One gigabyte of storage is available to all Spymac Mail accounts, effective today, Monday April 5, 2004.
Spymac agrees with the staff at Google that a 1 GB e-mail account makes sense. Millions of people rely on easy access to mail and depend on their email service to not indiscriminately delete important mail. Spymac Mail offers several advantages over other free Internet-based email. In addition to the one-gigabyte storage increase, Spymac Mail also offers both POP3 and Webmail access to the email accounts. For those wondering why on earth they would need one gigabyte for POP3 mail, don’t despair; because IMAP mail capabilities are under development and will be available very soon. Spymac Mail does not include keyword scanning for search and has no advertising.
Spymac welcomes email accounts from users 13 years old and up on any operating system. Sign up for your free account today by clicking here.
I'm very surprised... Google announced the first 1Gb mail service and Spyman launched the first??? Cool... :)
Just read now on TechWorld that a Winamp security hole has been discovered, and fortunately just patched.
This bug can provide someone with system access simply by getting someone to visit a malicious website. It all has to do with how the software loads Fasttracker 2 ".xm" media files.
It is possible to cause a heap overflow and so run code on the person's system. A ".xm" file is not needed however, as the software runs through all supported files with the same faulty piece of code. This greatly increases the opportunities hackers may have to con someone into clicking a link and so providing them with system access.
The flaw affects all WinAmps and so the only advice is to upgrade as soon as possible to the new patched version (5.03) on the company's website here.
