Gmail supplicants

Today I was ready the big list of Gmail supplicants on GmailSwap, a site that collect the requests of people that want an account for the new future Google mail service.

This list is from one side really comic and ridiculous (people that offers a travel to Venice, or a weekend in a city, or tickets for events or something similar for an account), but from the other side is terrible, because there's a lot of speculation about these Gmail accounts and I think that it's a speculation that must be stopped.

However, I think that only a stupid man could pay money (sometimes a lot of money) for an account and it's true that everyone must be responsible for himself. if you have so much money to trash, I'm ready to help you and receive it!

Longhorn 4074 Bug

Thanks to the FlexBeta staff for this segnalation:

Build 4074 of Windows Codename "Longhorn" has a bug which prevents new folders from being created via Windows Explorer. Until now the only known workaround was to create new folders via alternate means (such as copying and renaming existing folders, or using the command line). A new fix has now been created which fully restores the new folder feature in both the context menu and explorer toolbar.
