Google Mail Storage and Limitations

How much free storage do you really get while being with Google!!
Gmail 7.5 GB and counting.
Picasa 1 GB
GDocs 1 GB
*Free storage from one product cannot be used by or transferred to another product.
*All photos posted to both Google Buzz and Blogger are included in the 1 GB of free storage allotted to Picasa Web Albums.
And further you can always purchase extra storage from them.

Other limitations. Gmail won't allow you to send mails bigger in size than 20 MB, don't think that other email providers such as Rediff provide unlimited Inbox. Mind it they just provide unlimited inbox, not that you can send mails as big as lets say 100MB. So, its just a marketing scheme, whats the use of an unlimited account when all you can do is fill it in the parts of 25 MB.
You can't send an email to more than 25 broken email id's!
You can't send an email to more than 500 people at a time from your browser!
You cant send zip/rar/exe files with Gmail!

Try to do any of the above listed acts and your email id is dead, the penalty may range from barring you from using your account for as long as 24 hours to permanently disabling your account!

Gmail The Spy

The other day I was checking out an e-mail from one of my friend, and interestingly enough it had some so called ads on the side which were themed in a way or the other about the "IIT's" this was the first time I noticed that my mail too had an IIT theme, I was like awwww..., whats that.That was the moment I realized of reading something written as "better ads in Google", stay tuned, and the gmail blog which said of how the ads will be customized just for you. But here it was happening real-time and it felt a bit of awkward.
And that's the reason I received so many college ads in the year end seasons, and so many android ads whenever the talk was hot!

And the worse part, Gmail web-clips can be turned off (from settings-web-clips tab) but the ads on the right side of your mail are not so easily switch-off'able, though there are some greasy monkey scripts and some other hacks. I don't like it when I get ads of Android when I talk of android, and ads of "get cheap phones" when I was talking in a conversation or two about mobile phones. Yes, yes I know, no human is reading my mail behind it, but still its all like, while delivering my letter my postman says to me " Your aunt is a good personality, and a rich one too. *wink ;-)*", and I open up to find a letter from my aunt praising something!
I dint say its bad but at-least its awkward, its innovative, it new and its good.
