GMail : 2,5 GB of mail storage. Not enough ? Sign up for Mail Nation, which gives users one terabyte (1000 GB). Right. Just in case you want to send 1505 divx movies to some friend by email.

Your regular gadget blogs (Engadget, Gizmodo) bore me beyond description. I've found much more fun over at this gadget blog : Strange New Product. Stuff you won't buy, but at least you'll smile a bit. (via)
Here is something I may have a look at someday : how to use WordPress's Blog By Email feature with a GMail account. And for the Cron part, for those not having shell and crontab access, I suggest either Skippy's WP-Cron or PHP crontab replacements.

News qui a 5 mois de retard : est-ce qu'on a eu cette pub (right click, save as, 5.5 Mo, .mov) pour la Golf GTI qui reprend "I'm Singing in the Rain" en France ? Punaise, mais j'adore !
ScreenGrab : a nifty extension for Firefox that takes screenshot of a web page and saves it as a .png file. Too cool. (via)
Google Blog Search just launched. Slightly different from Google's default, mostly by the fact that they suggest related blogs URL (and that search results are, or should be, blogs only) (via)
