"The Gmail team forgot to add the code that manages the quota increase after 31st December 2006." - damentz, on 10/12/2007, -13/+103Inaccurate, Jesus was not on a pogo stick.
- Brahma, on 10/12/2007, -9/+86Hmm...First the address book hack and now this. Google seriously needs some New Year luck..
- r2700, on 10/12/2007, -1/+72I think they're immune - we all -discovered- Google; did they ever advertise their search engine? They've given us Google Earth, Maps, Gmail, AdSense/AdWords. They fixed a security glitch overnight on New Years Eve - I can't believe they're catching flack for advertising a 1 line tip on their engine - it's -their engine- =) Sony's constantly screwing up, Microsoft is constantly being malicious, sneaky or devious. Google gets it. I trust them.
- livestradamus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46I'll start to give a ***** when my mail storage reaches anywhere near 1 a GB
- akira117, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47I'm at 4% so this is not really important to me.... :7P
- Tyrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28If you look at the page source, you will see the data for that JavaScript counter:
var CP = [
[ 1136102400000, 2680 ],
[ 1149145200000, 2730 ],
[ 1167638400000, 2800 ]
];
It looks like perhaps they possibly forgot to add in another data point for the future, or they really intended it to stop at 2800... hard to say. - nthitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27@arewhyfour
Yes, backups do take up a lot of space. Mine are certainly bigger then 2.8 GB. However, I am not emailing these around, let alone using my email as a storage place for them and it would be somewhat foolish for anyone to do so. 2.8 GB should suffice for anyone. - darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28Oh what the hell...
but....
"Oh, and you still have over 2800 megabytes (and counting) of free storage."
I will keep a little faith in Google for now. - GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26@arewhyfour--
"Im talking about all my legal backups of Movies, Applications, and Games...."
You do that with a Gmail account? - jimmypetro, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30How long before people start hating Google just because they're "Google"?... like Microsoft... or Sony...
- kmckanna, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22You guys need to chill out, GMAIL is still by far the best free mail service. Everyone cries and whines about this and that, yet they aren't paying a damned nickel for any of it. You get what you pay for. Okay? Greeeaaattt..
If Gmail charged any bit for an account, half of the people would bail out on it... at least that'd clean up some of the babies who cry about a free service. - Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13the function for displaying the quota update is still in the source, Chances are its just a display problem - the storage behind the scenes is likely to be increasing as it always did ( you didnt think it was realtime updates did you? )
- badlandz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11For one thing, I don't pay Google anything... To get Microsoft and Sony products, I have to break open the wallet...
- Daniel8802, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Come on now, we have 2GB+ of storage counting - FOR FREE!!! Does it really matter if you lose .33MB of space? Come on now!
- gamemaster357, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13i thought it was going to hit 3gbs
- cadavreexquis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Why is this even a big deal? I've had my Gmail account for 2 years, I've managed to use 18 percent of a 2.8 gig total.
- Cerpin_Taxt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Wait for April 1st (Google's favourite release date)
- myheaditches, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Little do you know, this just means that infinity is equal to 2799.
- negativefx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9man with hands in pockets feels cocky all day
- zachninme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4He meant 3GB's -_-
- carl0ski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4and that is only the page javascript for the frontend
the backend database may well still be counting upwards - traherom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Maybe Google just updated the page was it wouldn't have a "scary" decimal sitting there. Just because the page doesn't display the "real" amount doesn't mean it isn't increasing...
- iQuin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4do you think that they are gearing up for 1.0? gmail has been in beta this whole time so mabye this is just them revving up for the big rush.
- AbsoluteMSTR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7506/607/1600/848537/gmail-infinity.gif
- Mejogid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If they were 'revving up', they would presumably skip to 3GB for the good press, not stop increasing...
- cracell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My gmail is at 951mb, so I'd be at the original 1gb by next year.
But like for work I use Gmail for Domains, and we have all of the logs and outgoing mails forwarded to our accounts. That way we can easily lookup client actions without putting strain on our own system (Google has awesome search) That inbox is almost at the 2800mb.
Of course, I need to delete the old mails but more is always better. - Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -12/+14@arewhyfour , i can fill it in a couple of minutes/hours Not useful data mind but still :)
dd -if=/dev/urandom -of=/home/file - DarkSunlight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2maybe an earthquake or something crashed the huge hard disk?

Story got buried, not sure why... - zonk3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Somehow i doubt they even have a true limit on the backend. I mean, why would they? Other than folks that are obviously abusing the system I see no reason to really limit it at all. I suspect the limit is really just a marketing gimmick...
- takeda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's Google's y2k7 problem =)

Have you ever heard the trash that comes out of Vole and Balmers mouth?
Bill Gates is mother terasa
Steve Balmer is Saddam Hussein in comparison - chazsmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1First the Google Calculator is down and now this? I smell conspiracy. ***** Ask.com, must be out for revenge.
- bonus45, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Off topic but, I saw this story in digg swarm. What the hell is going on in there ? A new user created today with 23,000 dug stories already ? wtf.
- webguy2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's the Username?
- gotamd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's probably just a momentary glitch or something. I'm not too worried as I haven't even used my first GB yet.
- bonus45, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yep, that's the guy. I figured I couldn't be the only one noticing that. Thanks.
- StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Talking about whom? SG-1 has been a member since 2005 according to his profile.
- BransonLAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think they just decided to not show it counting up. More of a novelty effect than a gauge that would show on the page forever and ever, not something that would stay there.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You are currently using 0 MB (0%) of your 2800 MB.
Well, so much for the "forgotten" coding. - LKBM, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3'It used to increase with about 0.33 MB.'
Per second? Per hour? Per trillion years? Maybe it's still increasing by about 0.33 MB per trillion years. We'll have to wait and see. ;-) - ithejosh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm always logged into gmail.
- MattKamineko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not exactly Infinity + 1 though, eh?
- drakia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This has actually happened before, Google only adds the code to show how much space there will be a year in advance so that users can't view the source and get a sneak preview of what their space is going to max out at, I give it a few days or so before they update the code and it starts counting again.
- dodd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1But this is only about what is shown on login page. Real storage capacity may be still increasing. If you look at Script on login page, you will see it has nothing to do with real capacity.
- bmwboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why the hell would you need to clean up a gmail account? Jeez...it's near impossible to fill even half of it up!
