Well, if your planning on bombing america, you should be worried.
I don't really use my email to coordinate my terrorist activites. i mean, god, thats just stupid. You use your email to communicate with friends. normal friends, normail emails, etc.

That's the stupidest website ever, but whenever something new comes out there is always someone who has to say it's wrong.
If you don't want googl monitoring your emails don't sign-up ... how stupid can some people be, oviously an American.

Microsoft to boost Hotmail
By Allison Linn in Seattle
June 24, 2004
MICROSOFT'S Hotmail will become the latest Web-based e-mail service to increase the amount of storage space available for its free accounts, after similar moves by rivals.
Beginning later in the northern summer, the company plans to increase the amount of storage for its free Hotmail account inboxes to 250 megabytes, up from two megabytes. Users also will be able to send larger attachments, up to 10 megabytes.
The Hotmail changes announced yesterday follow Google Inc's plans for its Gmail service, with 1000 megabytes of free storage. The leading competitor in the Web e-mail field, Yahoo! Inc, recently upgraded its free mail accounts to 100 megabytes of storage.
Blake Irving, a corporate vice president with Microsoft's MSN online division, said the company had not heard that customers were eager to bulk up storage on Hotmail accounts. But, he said, amid the attention surrounding e-mail storage, the company did not want competitors to have an edge with larger storage capacities.
"Our users haven't cared about storage and we just wanted to take it off the table," he said.
Mr Irving said users were much more worried about issues such as spam and security. Beginning next month, the Redmond, Washington-based software giant also plans to bolster the anti-virus protection for its free e-mail accounts.
Previously, Hotmail would scan incoming e-mails for viruses and give users the option to delete infected files. Now, Mr Irving said, the service would offer to clean up the attachment, removing the virus but still allowing viewing of the e-mail.
The company used to offer this service only as part of its paid e-mail offerings.
Microsoft also has previously asked Hotmail users to pay between $US19.95 ($29) and $US59.95 a year to get between 10 and 100 megabytes of storage. Now that those levels of storage will be free, Microsoft says it will charge $US19.95 a year for users who want two gigabytes of online storage.
Microsoft's Hotmail service attracted nearly 34.1 million unique users in May, according to Nielsen/NetRatings, trailing Yahoo, which had 40.4 million unique e-mail users.
