The guys who started google are apparently billionaires, why?

Try this link (http://gmail.google.com/gmail), it worked for me, but I still can't get any email through Outlook.

I have a new gmail problem that I can't figure out. WHen I receive a notice that I have a new email and click on the envelope icon, my entire browser locks up and I have to turn the computer off to reset it. If I open the browser first and go to www.gmail.com (http://www.gmail.com) I have no problem though. I have tried deleting and reinstalling both gmail and the notifier with no luck. I guess the next step is to get rid of Firefox and reinstall that one. Let me know if anyone has a solution to this problem.

I can't get pop3 from them right now, I got it four hours ago no problem though. This happens occasionally with them, should be resolved shortly.

Everyone just breathe deeply and repeat, "Beta.... Beta.... Beta...."

They sell their software.

What software? Their search engine? Is it really worth $1,000,000,000?

Where do you think they make money from? Advertising, of course. When you get millions of page views a day, and have the ability to sell multiple impressions per page view, and sell *highly* targeted advertising space.. You become a billionaire.

Advertising ain't free. They are raking in hundreds of millions every quarter with their ads.
