Yahoo Mail - From 4 Mb to 100Mb

CNET reports that the web portal Yahoo will begin offering ‘virtually unlimited storage‘ for its paid e-mail customers and will upgrade free users to 100MB.

This new upgrade plan is part of an overall enhancement for Yahoo Mail that will launch this summer. Besides additional storage, the service will get a face-lift and tie in more Yahoo-branded services, such as Photos and Messenger. Its being speculated, that after Google announced its email offer, Yahoo sent emails to Yahoo mail customers in hopes of gauging their interest in receiving 100 Mb storage.

The competition between Yahoo and Google continues to heighten. In February, Yahoo dropped Google as its algorithmic search provider and instead launched its own technology. The companies also compete over distribution deals, as evidenced in Yahoo replacing Google search on CNN.com this week.

Webpage Auto Generator

StrangeBanana is a program that creates a random webpage design. The page designs have, usually, never been seen before - they are created programmatically at random. Once you refresh the page, a new design appears. If you want, you can use the design for your own website (in that case you should save it immediately, because when you leave the page, you will never be able to get the same design again). An amusing concept, which ended up making me say, “Kewl” ;-).
