Gmail finally opens to all
Google Inc. dropped the invitation-only restriction for its Gmail e-mail service on Wednesday, one of its linchpin applications complementing its popular search engine.
Google launched Gmail in April 2004, and the company has been steadily integrating new features, but the service is still labeled a beta release. It includes Google Talk, an instant messaging program, and a calendar, plus other features such as spam filtering.
Gmail users previously had to pass along invitations to others so they could register for the service.
The company has positioned Gmail as a gateway to other online offerings by displaying links to its Picasa photo sharing service and Docs and Spreadsheets, a word processing and spreadsheet application.
Google has concentrated on building its infrastructure for its service-based offerings. As of Wednesday, Gmail offered users about 2.8G bytes of storage space for e-mail, one of the more generous limits for free services.

PhotoshopCAFE - Seventh Annual Design Contest
Colin Smith, founder of PhotoshopCAFE.com, one of the best known web sites dedicated to Photoshop, has announced the site’s seventh annual design contest, which, as with previous iterations, has a theme specifically related to Photoshop itself. Last year, for example, the challenge was to design the front of a cereal box, which resulted in such winning entries as Linked Layers: Fortified With Styles; Crusty Tools; and HistoGrams: Begin Your Day With Balance.
This year’s theme is a billboard dedicated to Photoshop, set in the past or in the future. In Colin’s words, “Past and Future means that it can be yesterday or tomorrow, but leaves it open to cool period pieces, and crafty wording and usage of imagery.” The prizes raise up to 12000$. Entries must be posted before March 1, 2007.
More information is available on the PhotoshopCAFE.com site.
