Steer clear of Googles web accelerator

don't download this
http://webaccelerator.google.com/
Why:
It screws up web pages, particularly forums.
Quote
"
See, Google isn't serving web pages faster, its serving other people's versions of the web page faster. What does that mean? Try using Web Accelerator on a forum site, one with lots of geeks who love Google and probably already have Web Accelerator installed. Why, if you're lucky, you'll be logged in as someone else, as the folks at SomethingAwful.com discovered. The posters in that forum discovered that most of the times they refreshed the page, they were logged in as a different person, seeing their friend's control panel for the forums.
They were even kind enough to provide screenshots."

No wonder really as the Web Accelerator is nothing but a proxy.

Booger, in case you haven't noticed, you have 12500 posts. You made them all on a 56k modem. I'm willing to bet money you've spent more time posting your 12500 than I have posting my 23000.
Don't make me fuck you up, dog

That article mentions that Gmail is somehow bad. Is there something I don't know about Gmail?

hey, Sys...
Why is it that your always on line, dewd.
Are you really that ugly that you cant get a real life and pick up a girl ?
I mean look at it this way. Your 32....right ? (btw-happy birthday kiddo),-
You still still livin home with mommy, (probably, most likely, I'd bet doughnuts to a dollar that you still are) ?
You ever date the opposite sex or do you still get yer rox off on a tv screen ?
...I could go on.....naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

They are just paranoid about the way they want you to store all your email and never delete it. As well as the fact that they do related advertising from the content in your messages.
Google assures only computers scan and assign the advertising, no human is involved with reading you messages.
Everything everywhere is a conspiracy
SUP BOOGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :icon31:
