Google started expanding its inbox e-mail storage capacity from 1 gigabyte to 2 and, according to one company representative, will continue to raise that ceiling on a rolling basis, to unspecified heights. Though despite its e-mail storage expansion, Google will continue to enforce its 10-megabyte limit on file attachments.
Since Gmail's debut in 2004, despite ample amounts of e-mail storage, some users have been approaching their limitations. Thus, Google is going to hand over more space continuously and indefinitely, says Gmail's product management director.
A Dire Need for More Space
Offering large amounts of e-mail space is becoming progressively essential, as many Gmail users subscribe to and acquire content such as digital music and videos.
Moreover, mailboxes will transform from a one-dimensional in-box to the center of a user's premium content delivery. And once delivered to the in-box, content can be moved to devices such as TVs and digital-music players.
The trick about Gmail, however, is obtaining an account:
People who wanted to take advantage of the free service have to snare an invitation from an existing user first; each current user has 50 invitations to give.
Google also randomly offers Gmail accounts via its main Google.com Web page.
Some Web sites have even created pages so users can "donate" their extra e-invitations to the very Net savvy.

Earlier this year I wrote about all the steps you can take to avoid the 10 most common toxins in the water, food and air we breathe. That's what drew me to this study that found middle-aged men may more than double their risk of succumbing to Parkinson's disease if they drink lots of milk every day (compared to those who don't drink it at all).
Scientists couldn't identify the exact ingredient in milk that triggers Parkinson's in middle-aged men. However, they were able to conclude that it wasn't calcium, and thought it was either a contaminant in the milk or another ingredient. Perhaps environmental toxins, which are clearly linked to Parkinson's, are now in our milk supply and are causing this phenomenon (for instance, in June 2004 it was found that California milk may be contaminated with rocket fuel.)
I strongly suspect that pasteurization was the "other ingredient" that contributed to Parkinson's. Pasteurization is thought to improve milk, but it actually distorts the three-dimensional shape of the proteins in the milk and converts them into foreign proteins that can actually harm your body. The study used pasteurized milk, and I suspect the results would be dramatically different if raw milk were used.
If you or your family currently drink milk, it is important for you to find healthy raw milk sources. Less than 1 percent of the milk consumed in America is raw, which is most unfortunate as raw milk can be a highly nutritious, health-promoting food (unlike pasteurized milk).
In fact, I have seen so many of my patients recover their health with raw milk that I perceive this to be one of the most profoundly healthy foods you can consume. To that end, I strongly recommend you visit the Real Milk Web site to locate a farmer in your area who produces raw milk products.
Tips for Preventing Parkinson's Disease
Now that I've finished commenting on the newly discovered risk factor for Parkinson's, I'd like to review the other ways to reduce your risk of this disease, and prevention is really the best route to take. Here's what can help:
Regular exercise is one of the best ways to protect against the onset of symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Avoid pesticide and insecticide exposure (as well as exposure to other environmental toxins like solvents). This is particularly important as summer approaches and mosquito fogging increases.
Eating more vegetables, which are high in folic acid, is another highly effective step to prevent Parkinson's disease.
Make sure your body has healthy levels of iron (neither too much nor too little).
Consider coenzyme Q10, which may help to fight the disease.
