[SegNin]

Meh, having a G-Mail account is no longer that special or "1337"

Still, if anyone wants an invite PM me, and I'll send you one.
But if you just reply here asking for an invite, and don't PM me, I won't send you one because I'm not going to check this thread again anytime soon, so I won't even know about your reply.

Gmail is old news now, every one has it, they shouldnt of given like 100 invites to everyone, they shoulve given like 5, then theyd be rarer, but anyway, i have 98, pm me if youd like one.

Hmm... This?

Gmail sued by Gmail
Brad Hill reports that after 15 months of negotiation, Independent International Investment Research, the company that claims ownership of the Gmail trademark, has given up trying for a settlement and is looking to bring the case to court. Techdirt says their �G-Mail wasn�t really a regular email system�, and thus not protected by trademark law.

Edit: longer version;

A British company is considering filing a lawsuit against Google over its use of the Gmail name.

After 15 months of negotiations with Google, Independent International Investment Research has been unable to reach a settlement with Google on use of the trademark and may sue the search giant, Shane Smith, chief executive of Independent II Research, said Tuesday.

Independent II Research, a provider of investment research, has been using the "G-Mail" name for its Pronet subsidiary's Web-based e-mail product since May 2002, Smith said. That was two years before Google launched its Gmail Web-based e-mail service in April 2004. The "G" in Independent II Research's product name stands for "Graphiti," an integrated text and graphics feature, he said.

"We have applied for registration as a trademark, and we believe we have priority over Google in that application process," Smith said. "We think Google is a good company with good products, but we have a pre-existing right to this name--and we have to. On the grounds of it (being) in the interest of our shareholders, we have to defend that right."

Independent II Research may file a lawsuit against Google in collaboration with a German company that has a similar complaint against the use of the Gmail name, he said.

A court temporarily ordered Google to change the name of its Gmail product in Germany, after Google was sued by Giersch Ventures. Now the product is called "Google Mail" in Germany, pending the outcome of that trial.

Google has made settlement offers to Independent II Research, but none that were deemed reasonable, Smith said.

Google did not return an e-mail seeking comment. (Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News.com reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story.)

The problem is just one of several legal headaches for Google. Last week, the company settled a lawsuit with auto insurer Geico for an undisclosed amount. Geico had complained that Google was responsible for trademark infringement for displaying advertising paid for by Geico rivals when Internet users searched for the word "Geico" on Google's search engine. The judge ruled late last year and issued a written ruling last month that said Geico had established a likelihood that the practice could cause confusion for Web surfers.

On Tuesday, a Washington state judge ruled that a former Microsoft executive could do limited work for Google in China in a lawsuit filed by Microsoft against the search giant. Kai-Fu Lee can begin recruiting staff for a Google development center in China, rather than waiting until after a January trial, but he can't do other management functions or work on computer search or speech-recognition technologies, the ruling said.

When viewing this thread, I constantly pondered if it was worth getting an invitefor G-Mail. I already had what I needed from other services, but it would be nice to have just in case I would need it. I was also thinking maybe we could do some Iso trading through GMail (if it allows large files to be attached). But that would also make another account that I would have to remember, not to mention that it would give me that "trend whore" look. I decided that it wasn't neccessary.

I headed straight to OCRemix and since I had a little bit more space, checked to see if I had enough room for the second and third torrents. The second was almost 2GB (which was about as much HD space i had left) and the other was 1GB, which the computer performs worse with less space. Then I thought, "Maybe I can download them on our laptop, send pieces to myself via Gmail, and problem solved! I could even organize them in the process of piece sending so I could make 'albums' seperated by game title, letters, date, whatever!" I also thought a LAN might be better, but we don't have one set up yet (at least I think) and I'm not exactly sure how to do so.

Ridculously long story short, I'll take an invite....

But one more thing. This invite system is done through e-mail right? (meaning I give out my email addy an get an invite through it). I would rather do this through an email I don't use often (if I'm to post it here). Does the email I use have any effect on this what so ever?

I have 100 invites.




What to do..
