I’ve got a few Gmail invitations, in case there is anyone out there who doesn’t have a Gmail email address yet. Just send me an email and I’ll get you invited. GMail.com.

Why would Real.com now require an email address to download their “free” software? And why in the world is the license agreement nineteen pages long?
