Apple bandies around the security and safety features of Mac OS X, and often contrasts it to the vulnerabilities of Windows operating systems. Pwn2Own is a hacking contest, where the ace hackers get together to compete by hacking and exploiting either one of Linux, Mac OS X or Windows.
Yahoo Mail has fancied its ‘unlimited storage space’ a lot, without actually thinking that users may put that storage space to good use. This is similar to web hosts, who oversell their services, assuming that no customer will use their share of resources completely.
However, I strongly believe that such claims are useless, and in fact, GMail’s 5 GB storage space is a lot more realistic. Label-archive system on GMail trumps any other service’s unlimited mail offerings any day (and I’m still on GMail, happily, I might add).

Fineprints in user agreements are always tricky. Legal experts often dole out the same lines, “read through the agreement carefully”. This is easier said than done, when you have to sign up for multiple online services each of which sport massive user agreement clauses.
The latest bomb to be dropped is CNET’s finding that Google services may very well be allowed for only adults of legal age. This isn’t a clause in the agreement per se, but a line in the agreement of the following order:
