I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and only you. - rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -17/+215Chuck Norris could fill that. Twice.
- Hexxagonal, on 10/12/2007, -6/+169BBSpot is a satire site... they don't have to release it on April 1st
- Drealoth, on 10/12/2007, -7/+142"Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?"
- cliffzdude, on 10/12/2007, -5/+85Whaaaaat do you mean there's no Santa?
- themoose, on 10/12/2007, -10/+89April fools was yesterday :/
- primehifi, on 10/12/2007, -7/+85I'm sure yahoo will respond by going to "Infinity +1, no returns" in a matter of days.
- VicRomano, on 10/12/2007, -6/+84MS will just offer infinity + shipping & handling.
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+79It's BBspot; this is what they do 365 days a year.
- Paktu, on 10/12/2007, -6/+76Submitter: Please put satire in the title for stories like this. Otherwise, it's like finding out there is no Santa.
- Willeth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+61You are all currently using 100% of your douchebag quota.
- Mazgazine1, on 10/12/2007, -10/+64I thought it was funny...
- magister, on 10/12/2007, -1/+50Actually, Google did say this: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail<mpl=wyze
- freefm, on 10/12/2007, -9/+56***** the RIAA!
- Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45Tomkins also said that they would be using new RAID technologies which allow them to store copies of e-mail in parallel universes. This means that if their servers crash they will be able to recover your data from another universe where they haven't.
Sounds real enough to me. - Beaver6813, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37Hey... its almost as if you dont get the joke...
- jessestay, on 01/21/2009, -1/+29Ha! BBSpot did April 1 + 1
- greatblackowl, on 10/12/2007, -15/+43Don't digg him down! No one wants to read April fools stuff on the 2nd!
Can't take more than one day at a time of not being able to trust anyone or anything.... *sniff* - troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -20/+45One day late for april fools.. but still a great marketing idea
- cjswerve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Read it a third time. Its a joke.
- toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25@ killerofkiller:

- KyotoWolf, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27good old Google...
- cjswerve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Get a sense of humor, Tool.
- ThePict, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22@allyant
Dude, you so have to upgrade your browser so it'll actually show the [sarcasm] and [humor] tags. - RatherDashing, on 10/12/2007, -7/+242795 more megs
- Intrepion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17BBSpot should post serious stories on April 1st! that'd be pretty funny...
to me anyways...
:: crickets :: - axentrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Dear Google
Almost 3 G storage is enough. Can you give me IMAP-support instead? - babymitch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16FTA:
"Tomkins also said that they would be using new RAID technologies which allow them to store copies of e-mail in parallel universes. This means that if their servers crash they will be able to recover your data from another universe where they haven't.
"Once your Yahoo e-mail box is full, you'll be able to transfer it to Gmail and add one more message," said Tomkins. "Those Yahoos will have a hard time beating that."

When contacted about the Google announcement, a Yahoo representative said, "We will be making an announcement shortly about our million-trillion-billion infinity storage," and added, "Neener, neener, neener."
Not to be left out of the storage bonanza, a Hotmail representative said that while they "can't offer unlimited storage, they can delete all your e-mail at random intervals in conjunction with their Live OneCare service, to make sure you never run out of space." - invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13come on, Beaver6813... nobody's THAT stupid..
well... - drafhk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18It's not freaking April Fools you idiot! It's BBspot, a website that makes its living by doing stories like this and "Microsoft purchases evil from Satan." It's not an April Fool's joke, it's a ***** satire. Go to hell.
- trillions, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16seems no matter what i write here, i'll get buried, so...i still use Juno. 20MB limit. eat it.
- ldkronos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15But what happens when the me from a parallel universe sends out an email about his plans to overthrow the government and it gets RAIDed into my universe? I'm gonna end up in gitmo, and it's all your fault, Google!!!!!
- ace87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I agree, I thought it was real at first until I read the comments.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Oh cool, I though deactivating my account just because I haven't logged in lately was as good as it could get.

- bilbravo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10WHOOOOSH
- Scoobies, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Nice maths tedlove ... ok I've got one for you:
x = 2y
if x = infinity then y = infinity and therefore x = y
You are such a nullity - R3doubt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It's called RAID 8 (sideways infinity).
- clickmyface, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6From link above:
"And we've always loved a good joke. We know we won't reach infinity, but check out what we will do ..." - Google

-Kelly K. and Buzz Lightyear - SteveMax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I believe it was two years ago, when Google announced that the storage in Gmail would increase to infinity +1. This was the beginning of the constantly-increasing Gmail storage.
- mikesbaker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5wait wait wait BBspot isn't real?!?!... well at least I still have the Onion for all my news
- Kishoba, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Not to be technical or anything, but infinity is not a number, and therefore not the biggest number, which is only a measure of the particular numbers in a group or field. However, in some geometries (e.g. Projective Geometry) we call certain points - points of infinity (again, rather bad labeling). In the case of the Euclidean field the numbers go on forever (unless we are dealing with a quotient field), and so infinity is just a way of describing a huge amount (unbounded), or in this case more appropriately titled unlimited storage (+1).
- sjames1010, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is old. And accurate, but they didn't do it in response to yahoo.
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail<mpl=wyze - tybris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Woohoo, now we can really build a full chess decision tree.
- Rice, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6This stuff usually doesn't apply to attachments.
Sorry. - jake57, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3*sigh*
